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 447 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 447 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

447 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 447 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 754.45100612358 ft/s

The final result is:

447 kt → 754.45100612358 ft/s

We conclude that 447 knots is equivalent to 754.45100612358 feet per second:

447 knots = 754.45100612358 feet per second

Alternative conversion
