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 311.7 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 311.7 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

311.7 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 311.7 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 526.09033245799 ft/s

The final result is:

311.7 kt → 526.09033245799 ft/s

We conclude that 311.7 knots is equivalent to 526.09033245799 feet per second:

311.7 knots = 526.09033245799 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 0.001900814248625 × 311.7 knots.

Another way is saying that 311.7 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.001900814248625 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 eleven point seven knots is approximately five hundred twenty-six point zero nine feet per second:

311.7 kt ≅ 526.09 ft/s

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