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 161.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 161.4 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
161.4 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 161.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 272.4125109359 ft/s
The final result is:
161.4 kt → 272.4125109359 ft/s
We conclude that 161.4 knots is equivalent to 272.4125109359 feet per second:
