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 721.2 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 721.2 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

721.2 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 721.2 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 427.29931749497 kt

The final result is:

721.2 ft/s → 427.29931749497 kt

We conclude that 721.2 feet per second is equivalent to 427.29931749497 knots:

721.2 feet per second = 427.29931749497 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0023402798905986 × 721.2 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 721.2 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0023402798905986 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred twenty-one point two feet per second is approximately four hundred twenty-seven point two nine nine knots:

721.2 ft/s ≅ 427.299 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times seven hundred twenty-one point two feet per second.
