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 320 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 320 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

320 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 320 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 540.09915427192 ft/s

The final result is:

320 kt → 540.09915427192 ft/s

We conclude that 320 knots is equivalent to 540.09915427192 feet per second:

320 knots = 540.09915427192 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 0.0018515118790513 × 320 knots.

Another way is saying that 320 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0018515118790513 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 twenty knots is approximately five hundred forty point zero nine nine feet per second:

320 kt ≅ 540.099 ft/s

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