Follow these steps to convert given speed from the units of Knot to the units of Foot/second.
Enter the input Knot value in the text field.
The calculator converts the given Knot into Foot/second in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Foot/second label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Foot/second value is re-calculated, just like that.
You may copy the resulting Foot/second value using the Copy button.
To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.
What is the Formula to convert Knot to Foot/second?
The formula to convert given speed from Knot to Foot/second is:
Substitute the given value of speed in knot, i.e., Speed(Knot) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the speed in foot/second, i.e., Speed(Foot/second).
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Knot
The knot (kn) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. It is commonly used in maritime and aviation contexts to express the speed of ships and aircraft. The knot is an important unit in navigation, where distances are often measured in nautical miles.
Foot/second
The foot per second (ft/s) is a unit of speed commonly used in the United States to measure the velocity of objects, particularly in engineering and physics. It indicates how many feet are covered in one second and is often used in contexts such as projectile motion or fluid flow.
