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 266 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 266 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

266 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 266 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 448.95742198853 ft/s

The final result is:

266 kt → 448.95742198853 ft/s

We conclude that 266 knots is equivalent to 448.95742198853 feet per second:

266 knots = 448.95742198853 feet per second

Alternative conversion
