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 27.2 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 27.2 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

27.2 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 27.2 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 45.908428113113 ft/s

The final result is:

27.2 kt → 45.908428113113 ft/s

We conclude that 27.2 knots is equivalent to 45.908428113113 feet per second:
