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 550 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 550 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

550 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 550 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 325.86609071302 kt

The final result is:

550 ft/s → 325.86609071302 kt

We conclude that 550 feet per second is equivalent to 325.86609071302 knots:

550 feet per second = 325.86609071302 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0030687451947268 × 550 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 550 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0030687451947268 knots.

Approximate result

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

550 ft/s ≅ 325.866 kt

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