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 553 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 553 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

553 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 553 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 933.35885097615 ft/s

The final result is:

553 kt → 933.35885097615 ft/s

We conclude that 553 knots is equivalent to 933.35885097615 feet per second:

553 knots = 933.35885097615 feet per second
