Frequently asked questions

How many knots are in one meter/second?

One meter/second is 1.94384449 kn, so 100 m/s is 194.384449 kn.

What is the formula to convert meters/second to knots?

kn = m/s × 1.94384449. Multiply the value in meters/second by 1.94384449 to get knots.

How do I convert knots back to meters/second?

m/s = kn × 0.514444444, so 1 kn is 0.514444444 m/s. The kn to m/s page carries the same table in that direction.
