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 167 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 167 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

167 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 167 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 281.86424613566 ft/s

The final result is:

167 kt → 281.86424613566 ft/s

We conclude that 167 knots is equivalent to 281.86424613566 feet per second:

167 knots = 281.86424613566 feet per second

Alternative conversion
