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 527 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 527 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

527 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 527 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 889.47579469156 ft/s

The final result is:

527 kt → 889.47579469156 ft/s

We conclude that 527 knots is equivalent to 889.47579469156 feet per second:

527 knots = 889.47579469156 feet per second
