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 455 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 455 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

455 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 455 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 767.95348498038 ft/s

The final result is:

455 kt → 767.95348498038 ft/s

We conclude that 455 knots is equivalent to 767.95348498038 feet per second:

455 knots = 767.95348498038 feet per second
