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 495 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 495 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

495 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 495 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 835.46587926437 ft/s

The final result is:

495 kt → 835.46587926437 ft/s

We conclude that 495 knots is equivalent to 835.46587926437 feet per second:

495 knots = 835.46587926437 feet per second
