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 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 311 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 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 311 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 524.90886555802 ft/s

The final result is:

311 kt → 524.90886555802 ft/s

We conclude that 311 knots is equivalent to 524.90886555802 feet per second:

311 knots = 524.90886555802 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 0.0019050926086701 × 311 knots.

Another way is saying that 311 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0019050926086701 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 knots is approximately five hundred twenty-four point nine zero nine feet per second:

311 kt ≅ 524.909 ft/s

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