Conversion formula
The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:
1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt
To convert 217.8 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 217.8 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt
217.8 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 217.8 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 129.04297192236 kt
The final result is:
217.8 ft/s → 129.04297192236 kt
We conclude that 217.8 feet per second is equivalent to 129.04297192236 knots:
217.8 feet per second = 129.04297192236 knots
