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 563 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 563 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

563 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 563 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 950.23694954715 ft/s

The final result is:

563 kt → 950.23694954715 ft/s

We conclude that 563 knots is equivalent to 950.23694954715 feet per second:

563 knots = 950.23694954715 feet per second
