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 342.2 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 342.2 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

342.2 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 342.2 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 577.56853309953 ft/s

The final result is:

342.2 kt → 577.56853309953 ft/s

We conclude that 342.2 knots is equivalent to 577.56853309953 feet per second:

342.2 knots = 577.56853309953 feet per second

Alternative conversion
