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 270 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 270 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
270 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 270 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 455.70866141693 ft/s
The final result is:
270 kt → 455.70866141693 ft/s
We conclude that 270 knots is equivalent to 455.70866141693 feet per second:
270 knots = 455.70866141693 feet per second
