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 477 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 477 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

477 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 477 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 805.08530183657 ft/s

The final result is:

477 kt → 805.08530183657 ft/s

We conclude that 477 knots is equivalent to 805.08530183657 feet per second:

477 knots = 805.08530183657 feet per second

Alternative conversion
