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 44 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 44 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

44 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 44 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 74.263633712388 ft/s

The final result is:

44 kt → 74.263633712388 ft/s

We conclude that 44 knots is equivalent to 74.263633712388 feet per second:

44 knots = 74.263633712388 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 0.013465540938555 × 44 knots.

Another way is saying that 44 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.013465540938555 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

44 kt ≅ 74.264 ft/s

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