How to convert Knot to Foot per second

Conversion factor and calculation steps from Knot (kn) to Foot per second (ft/s).

Conversion logic

Each unit is defined via the base unit (meter per second (m/s)). The value is first converted to the base unit, then to the selected unit.

1 kn = 0.514444444444 m/s

1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s

1 kn × 0.514444444444 = 0.514444444444 m/s

0.514444444444 m/s ÷ 0.3048 = 1.6878098571 ft/s
