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 513 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 513 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

513 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 513 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 865.84645669217 ft/s

The final result is:

513 kt → 865.84645669217 ft/s

We conclude that 513 knots is equivalent to 865.84645669217 feet per second:

513 knots = 865.84645669217 feet per second

Alternative conversion
