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 478.2 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 478.2 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
478.2 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 478.2 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 807.11067366509 ft/s
The final result is:
478.2 kt → 807.11067366509 ft/s
We conclude that 478.2 knots is equivalent to 807.11067366509 feet per second:
