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 253.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 253.4 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
253.4 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 253.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 427.69101778907 ft/s
The final result is:
253.4 kt → 427.69101778907 ft/s
We conclude that 253.4 knots is equivalent to 427.69101778907 feet per second:
