Conversion formula
The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:
1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt
To convert 427 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 427 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt
427 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 427 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 252.99058315357 kt
The final result is:
427 ft/s → 252.99058315357 kt
We conclude that 427 feet per second is equivalent to 252.99058315357 knots:
427 feet per second = 252.99058315357 knots
Alternative conversion
