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 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 474 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 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 474 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 800.02187226528 ft/s

The final result is:

474 kt → 800.02187226528 ft/s

We conclude that 474 knots is equivalent to 800.02187226528 feet per second:

474 knots = 800.02187226528 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.0012499658255198 × 474 knots.

Another way is saying that 474 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0012499658255198 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred seventy-four knots is approximately eight hundred point zero two two feet per second:

474 kt ≅ 800.022 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times four hundred seventy-four knots.
