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 647.8 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 647.8 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

647.8 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 647.8 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 383.81100647981 kt

The final result is:

647.8 ft/s → 383.81100647981 kt

We conclude that 647.8 feet per second is equivalent to 383.81100647981 knots:

647.8 feet per second = 383.81100647981 knots

Alternative conversion
