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 526 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 526 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

526 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 526 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 887.78798483446 ft/s

The final result is:

526 kt → 887.78798483446 ft/s

We conclude that 526 knots is equivalent to 887.78798483446 feet per second:

526 knots = 887.78798483446 feet per second
