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 240.9 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 240.9 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

240.9 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 240.9 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 142.7293477323 kt

The final result is:

240.9 ft/s → 142.7293477323 kt

We conclude that 240.9 feet per second is equivalent to 142.7293477323 knots:

240.9 feet per second = 142.7293477323 knots

Alternative conversion
