How to convert feet per second to knots

Multiply the value in ft/s by 0.592483801296: the result is in kn.

kn = ft/s × 0.592483801296The other way round, 1 kn = 1.6878098571 ft/s.

Where these two units are used

The foot per second serves American ballistics, where muzzle velocity is always quoted this way, and free-fall calculations. The knot is one nautical mile per hour, exactly 1.852 kilometers per hour since 1929, and it is tied to geography: a nautical mile is one minute of latitude. One cockpit uses both at right angles: horizontal speed reads in knots, vertical speed in feet per minute, and a knot is 1.69 ft/s.
