Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 106 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 106 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

106 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 106 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 178.90784485257 ft/s

The final result is:

106 kt → 178.90784485257 ft/s

We conclude that 106 knots is equivalent to 178.90784485257 feet per second:

106 knots = 178.90784485257 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.005589469823551 × 106 knots.

Another way is saying that 106 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.005589469823551 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred six knots is approximately one hundred seventy-eight point nine zero eight feet per second:

106 kt ≅ 178.908 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero six times one hundred six knots.
