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 476.7 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 476.7 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

476.7 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 476.7 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 282.437028078 kt

The final result is:

476.7 ft/s → 282.437028078 kt

We conclude that 476.7 feet per second is equivalent to 282.437028078 knots:

476.7 feet per second = 282.437028078 knots
