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 434 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 434 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

434 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 434 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 732.50947798129 ft/s

The final result is:

434 kt → 732.50947798129 ft/s

We conclude that 434 knots is equivalent to 732.50947798129 feet per second:

434 knots = 732.50947798129 feet per second

Alternative conversion
