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 425 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 425 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

425 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 425 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 717.31918926739 ft/s

The final result is:

425 kt → 717.31918926739 ft/s

We conclude that 425 knots is equivalent to 717.31918926739 feet per second:

425 knots = 717.31918926739 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 0.0013940795324621 × 425 knots.

Another way is saying that 425 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0013940795324621 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-five knots is approximately seven hundred seventeen point three one nine feet per second:

425 kt ≅ 717.319 ft/s

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