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 474.6 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 474.6 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

474.6 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 474.6 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 801.03455817954 ft/s

The final result is:

474.6 kt → 801.03455817954 ft/s

We conclude that 474.6 knots is equivalent to 801.03455817954 feet per second:

474.6 knots = 801.03455817954 feet per second

Alternative conversion
