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 520 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 520 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

520 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 520 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 308.09157667413 kt

The final result is:

520 ft/s → 308.09157667413 kt

We conclude that 520 feet per second is equivalent to 308.09157667413 knots:

520 feet per second = 308.09157667413 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0032457881867303 × 520 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 520 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0032457881867303 knots.

Approximate result

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

520 ft/s ≅ 308.092 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times five hundred twenty feet per second.
