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 26.5 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 26.5 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

26.5 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 26.5 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 44.726961213143 ft/s

The final result is:

26.5 kt → 44.726961213143 ft/s

We conclude that 26.5 knots is equivalent to 44.726961213143 feet per second:

26.5 knots = 44.726961213143 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.022357879294204 × 26.5 knots.

Another way is saying that 26.5 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.022357879294204 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-six point five knots is approximately forty-four point seven two seven feet per second:

26.5 kt ≅ 44.727 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero two two times twenty-six point five knots.
