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 427 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 427 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
427 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 427 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 720.69480898159 ft/s
The final result is:
427 kt → 720.69480898159 ft/s
We conclude that 427 knots is equivalent to 720.69480898159 feet per second:
427 knots = 720.69480898159 feet per second
