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 166 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 166 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
166 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 166 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 280.17643627856 ft/s
The final result is:
166 kt → 280.17643627856 ft/s
We conclude that 166 knots is equivalent to 280.17643627856 feet per second:
166 knots = 280.17643627856 feet per second
Alternative conversion
