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 147 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 147 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

147 kt → V(ft/s)

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

V(ft/s) = 147 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 248.10804899366 ft/s

The final result is:

147 kt → 248.10804899366 ft/s

We conclude that 147 knots is equivalent to 248.10804899366 feet per second:
