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 262 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 262 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

262 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 262 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 442.20618256013 ft/s

The final result is:

262 kt → 442.20618256013 ft/s

We conclude that 262 knots is equivalent to 442.20618256013 feet per second:

262 knots = 442.20618256013 feet per second

Alternative conversion
