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 431.1 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 431.1 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

431.1 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 431.1 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 255.41976673888 kt

The final result is:

431.1 ft/s → 255.41976673888 kt

We conclude that 431.1 feet per second is equivalent to 255.41976673888 knots:

431.1 feet per second = 255.41976673888 knots

Alternative conversion
