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 265 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 265 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

265 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 265 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 447.26961213143 ft/s

The final result is:

265 kt → 447.26961213143 ft/s

We conclude that 265 knots is equivalent to 447.26961213143 feet per second:

265 knots = 447.26961213143 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 0.0022357879294204 × 265 knots.

Another way is saying that 265 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0022357879294204 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

265 kt ≅ 447.27 ft/s

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