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 247 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 247 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

247 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 247 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 146.34349892021 kt

The final result is:

247 ft/s → 146.34349892021 kt

We conclude that 247 feet per second is equivalent to 146.34349892021 knots:

247 feet per second = 146.34349892021 knots
