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 378 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 378 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

378 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 378 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 637.9921259837 ft/s

The final result is:

378 kt → 637.9921259837 ft/s

We conclude that 378 knots is equivalent to 637.9921259837 feet per second:

378 knots = 637.9921259837 feet per second
