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 252.2 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 252.2 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

252.2 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 252.2 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 149.42441468695 kt

The final result is:

252.2 ft/s → 149.42441468695 kt

We conclude that 252.2 feet per second is equivalent to 149.42441468695 knots:

252.2 feet per second = 149.42441468695 knots

Alternative conversion
