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 174.7 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 174.7 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

174.7 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 174.7 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 294.86038203532 ft/s

The final result is:

174.7 kt → 294.86038203532 ft/s

We conclude that 174.7 knots is equivalent to 294.86038203532 feet per second:

174.7 knots = 294.86038203532 feet per second
