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 471 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 471 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
471 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 471 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 279.05987041061 kt
The final result is:
471 ft/s → 279.05987041061 kt
We conclude that 471 feet per second is equivalent to 279.05987041061 knots:
471 feet per second = 279.05987041061 knots
Alternative conversion
