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 422 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 422 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

422 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 422 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 712.25575969609 ft/s

The final result is:

422 kt → 712.25575969609 ft/s

We conclude that 422 knots is equivalent to 712.25575969609 feet per second:

422 knots = 712.25575969609 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.0014039900504654 × 422 knots.

Another way is saying that 422 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0014039900504654 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred twenty-two knots is approximately seven hundred twelve point two five six feet per second:

422 kt ≅ 712.256 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times four hundred twenty-two knots.
