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 430 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 430 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

430 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 430 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 725.75823855289 ft/s

The final result is:

430 kt → 725.75823855289 ft/s

We conclude that 430 knots is equivalent to 725.75823855289 feet per second:

430 knots = 725.75823855289 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 0.0013778693053405 × 430 knots.

Another way is saying that 430 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0013778693053405 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 thirty knots is approximately seven hundred twenty-five point seven five eight feet per second:

430 kt ≅ 725.758 ft/s

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