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 180 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 180 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

180 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 180 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 303.80577427795 ft/s

The final result is:

180 kt → 303.80577427795 ft/s

We conclude that 180 knots is equivalent to 303.80577427795 feet per second:

180 knots = 303.80577427795 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.0032915766738689 × 180 knots.

Another way is saying that 180 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0032915766738689 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred eighty knots is approximately three hundred three point eight zero six feet per second:

180 kt ≅ 303.806 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero three times one hundred eighty knots.
