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 237 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 237 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

237 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 237 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 400.01093613264 ft/s

The final result is:

237 kt → 400.01093613264 ft/s

We conclude that 237 knots is equivalent to 400.01093613264 feet per second:

237 knots = 400.01093613264 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 0.0024999316510397 × 237 knots.

Another way is saying that 237 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0024999316510397 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 thirty-seven knots is approximately four hundred point zero one one feet per second:

237 kt ≅ 400.011 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times two hundred thirty-seven knots.
