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 481 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 481 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

481 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 481 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 811.83654126497 ft/s

The final result is:

481 kt → 811.83654126497 ft/s

We conclude that 481 knots is equivalent to 811.83654126497 feet per second:

481 knots = 811.83654126497 feet per second

Alternative conversion
