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 300 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 300 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

300 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 300 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 506.34295712992 ft/s

The final result is:

300 kt → 506.34295712992 ft/s

We conclude that 300 knots is equivalent to 506.34295712992 feet per second:

300 knots = 506.34295712992 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.0019749460043214 × 300 knots.

Another way is saying that 300 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019749460043214 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three hundred knots is approximately five hundred six point three four three feet per second:

300 kt ≅ 506.343 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times three hundred knots.
