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 508 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 508 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

508 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 508 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 857.40740740667 ft/s

The final result is:

508 kt → 857.40740740667 ft/s

We conclude that 508 knots is equivalent to 857.40740740667 feet per second:

508 knots = 857.40740740667 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 0.0011663066954654 × 508 knots.

Another way is saying that 508 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011663066954654 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 eight knots is approximately eight hundred fifty-seven point four zero seven feet per second:

508 kt ≅ 857.407 ft/s

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