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 437 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 437 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

437 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 437 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 737.57290755259 ft/s

The final result is:

437 kt → 737.57290755259 ft/s

We conclude that 437 knots is equivalent to 737.57290755259 feet per second:

437 knots = 737.57290755259 feet per second
