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 291 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 291 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

291 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 291 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 491.15266841602 ft/s

The final result is:

291 kt → 491.15266841602 ft/s

We conclude that 291 knots is equivalent to 491.15266841602 feet per second:

291 knots = 491.15266841602 feet per second
