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 522 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 522 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

522 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 522 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 881.03674540606 ft/s

The final result is:

522 kt → 881.03674540606 ft/s

We conclude that 522 knots is equivalent to 881.03674540606 feet per second:

522 knots = 881.03674540606 feet per second

Alternative conversion
