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 487 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 487 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
487 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 487 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 821.96340040757 ft/s
The final result is:
487 kt → 821.96340040757 ft/s
We conclude that 487 knots is equivalent to 821.96340040757 feet per second:
487 knots = 821.96340040757 feet per second
