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 130 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 130 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

130 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 130 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 219.41528142297 ft/s

The final result is:

130 kt → 219.41528142297 ft/s

We conclude that 130 knots is equivalent to 219.41528142297 feet per second:

130 knots = 219.41528142297 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 0.0045575677022801 × 130 knots.

Another way is saying that 130 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0045575677022801 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 thirty knots is approximately two hundred nineteen point four one five feet per second:

130 kt ≅ 219.415 ft/s

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