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 429 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 429 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

429 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 429 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 254.17555075616 kt

The final result is:

429 ft/s → 254.17555075616 kt

We conclude that 429 feet per second is equivalent to 254.17555075616 knots:

429 feet per second = 254.17555075616 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0039342887111882 × 429 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 429 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0039342887111882 knots.

Approximate result

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

429 ft/s ≅ 254.176 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero four times four hundred twenty-nine feet per second.
