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 220 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 220 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

220 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 220 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 371.31816856194 ft/s

The final result is:

220 kt → 371.31816856194 ft/s

We conclude that 220 knots is equivalent to 371.31816856194 feet per second:

220 knots = 371.31816856194 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 0.0026931081877109 × 220 knots.

Another way is saying that 220 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0026931081877109 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

220 kt ≅ 371.318 ft/s

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