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 263 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 263 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

263 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 263 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 443.89399241723 ft/s

The final result is:

263 kt → 443.89399241723 ft/s

We conclude that 263 knots is equivalent to 443.89399241723 feet per second:

263 knots = 443.89399241723 feet per second

Alternative conversion
