397 km/h → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 397 km/h × 0.91134441528215 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 361.80373286701 ft/s

The final result is:

397 km/h → 361.80373286701 ft/s

We conclude that 397 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 361.80373286701 feet per second:
