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 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 297 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 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 297 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 501.27952755862 ft/s

The final result is:

297 kt → 501.27952755862 ft/s

We conclude that 297 knots is equivalent to 501.27952755862 feet per second:

297 knots = 501.27952755862 feet per second

Alternative conversion
