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 492 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 492 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

492 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 492 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 830.40244969307 ft/s

The final result is:

492 kt → 830.40244969307 ft/s

We conclude that 492 knots is equivalent to 830.40244969307 feet per second:

492 knots = 830.40244969307 feet per second
