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 426 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 426 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

426 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 426 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 719.00699912449 ft/s

The final result is:

426 kt → 719.00699912449 ft/s

We conclude that 426 knots is equivalent to 719.00699912449 feet per second:

426 knots = 719.00699912449 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 0.0013908070452967 × 426 knots.

Another way is saying that 426 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0013908070452967 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-six knots is approximately seven hundred nineteen point zero zero seven feet per second:

426 kt ≅ 719.007 ft/s

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