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 297.6 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 297.6 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

297.6 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 297.6 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 502.29221347288 ft/s

The final result is:

297.6 kt → 502.29221347288 ft/s

We conclude that 297.6 knots is equivalent to 502.29221347288 feet per second:

297.6 knots = 502.29221347288 feet per second

Alternative conversion
