Conversion formula
The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:
1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt
To convert 497 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 497 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt
497 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 497 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 294.46444924431 kt
The final result is:
497 ft/s → 294.46444924431 kt
We conclude that 497 feet per second is equivalent to 294.46444924431 knots:
497 feet per second = 294.46444924431 knots
