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 387 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 387 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

387 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 387 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 653.1824146976 ft/s

The final result is:

387 kt → 653.1824146976 ft/s

We conclude that 387 knots is equivalent to 653.1824146976 feet per second:

387 knots = 653.1824146976 feet per second

Alternative conversion
