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 506 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 506 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

506 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 506 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 854.03178769247 ft/s

The final result is:

506 kt → 854.03178769247 ft/s

We conclude that 506 knots is equivalent to 854.03178769247 feet per second:

506 knots = 854.03178769247 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.0011709166033526 × 506 knots.

Another way is saying that 506 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011709166033526 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred six knots is approximately eight hundred fifty-four point zero three two feet per second:

506 kt ≅ 854.032 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times five hundred six knots.
