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 255 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 255 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
255 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 255 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 430.39151356043 ft/s
The final result is:
255 kt → 430.39151356043 ft/s
We conclude that 255 knots is equivalent to 430.39151356043 feet per second:
255 knots = 430.39151356043 feet per second
Alternative conversion
