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 392 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 392 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

392 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 392 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 661.6214639831 ft/s

The final result is:

392 kt → 661.6214639831 ft/s

We conclude that 392 knots is equivalent to 661.6214639831 feet per second:

392 knots = 661.6214639831 feet per second
