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 49.7 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 49.7 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

49.7 kt → V(ft/s)

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

V(ft/s) = 49.7 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 83.884149897857 ft/s

The final result is:

49.7 kt → 83.884149897857 ft/s

We conclude that 49.7 knots is equivalent to 83.884149897857 feet per second:
