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 386 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 386 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

386 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 386 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 651.4946048405 ft/s

The final result is:

386 kt → 651.4946048405 ft/s

We conclude that 386 knots is equivalent to 651.4946048405 feet per second:

386 knots = 651.4946048405 feet per second

Alternative conversion
