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 560 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 560 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

560 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 560 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 945.17351997585 ft/s

The final result is:

560 kt → 945.17351997585 ft/s

We conclude that 560 knots is equivalent to 945.17351997585 feet per second:

560 knots = 945.17351997585 feet per second

Alternative conversion
