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 43.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 43.4 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

43.4 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 43.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 73.250947798129 ft/s

The final result is:

43.4 kt → 73.250947798129 ft/s

We conclude that 43.4 knots is equivalent to 73.250947798129 feet per second:

43.4 knots = 73.250947798129 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 0.013651700490701 × 43.4 knots.

Another way is saying that 43.4 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.013651700490701 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty-three point four knots is approximately seventy-three point two five one feet per second:

43.4 kt ≅ 73.251 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero one four times forty-three point four knots.
