Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 458.6 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 458.6 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

458.6 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 458.6 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 271.71307127453 kt

The final result is:

458.6 ft/s → 271.71307127453 kt

We conclude that 458.6 feet per second is equivalent to 271.71307127453 knots:

458.6 feet per second = 271.71307127453 knots
