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 257.1 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 257.1 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

257.1 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 257.1 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 152.32758531331 kt

The final result is:

257.1 ft/s → 152.32758531331 kt

We conclude that 257.1 feet per second is equivalent to 152.32758531331 knots:

257.1 feet per second = 152.32758531331 knots

Alternative conversion
