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 393.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 393.4 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

393.4 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 393.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 663.98439778304 ft/s

The final result is:

393.4 kt → 663.98439778304 ft/s

We conclude that 393.4 knots is equivalent to 663.98439778304 feet per second:
