To convert miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we need to multiply by the conversion factor of 0.62 (1 kilometer is approximately equal to 0.62 miles).
Delta's speed in kilometers per hour is therefore 17 miles/hour * 0.62 km/mile = 10.54 km/hour.
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a kilometer, Delta's speed in kilometers per hour is approximately 10.5 km/hour.
Therefore, the correct answer is 10.5.
