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 461 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 461 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

461 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 461 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 778.08034412298 ft/s

The final result is:

461 kt → 778.08034412298 ft/s

We conclude that 461 knots is equivalent to 778.08034412298 feet per second:

461 knots = 778.08034412298 feet per second

Alternative conversion
