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 475 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 475 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

475 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 475 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 801.70968212238 ft/s

The final result is:

475 kt → 801.70968212238 ft/s

We conclude that 475 knots is equivalent to 801.70968212238 feet per second:

475 knots = 801.70968212238 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 0.0012473343185188 × 475 knots.

Another way is saying that 475 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0012473343185188 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-five knots is approximately eight hundred one point seven one feet per second:

475 kt ≅ 801.71 ft/s

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