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 511.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 511.4 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
511.4 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 511.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 863.14596092081 ft/s
The final result is:
511.4 kt → 863.14596092081 ft/s
We conclude that 511.4 knots is equivalent to 863.14596092081 feet per second:
511.4 knots = 863.14596092081 feet per second
