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 274 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 274 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

274 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 274 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 462.45990084533 ft/s

The final result is:

274 kt → 462.45990084533 ft/s

We conclude that 274 knots is equivalent to 462.45990084533 feet per second:

274 knots = 462.45990084533 feet per second

Alternative conversion
