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 466 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 466 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

466 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 466 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 786.51939340848 ft/s

The final result is:

466 kt → 786.51939340848 ft/s

We conclude that 466 knots is equivalent to 786.51939340848 feet per second:

466 knots = 786.51939340848 feet per second
