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 566 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 566 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

566 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 566 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 955.30037911845 ft/s

The final result is:

566 kt → 955.30037911845 ft/s

We conclude that 566 knots is equivalent to 955.30037911845 feet per second:

566 knots = 955.30037911845 feet per second
