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 270.8 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 270.8 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

270.8 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 270.8 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 457.05890930261 ft/s

The final result is:

270.8 kt → 457.05890930261 ft/s

We conclude that 270.8 knots is equivalent to 457.05890930261 feet per second:

270.8 knots = 457.05890930261 feet per second
