Convert Feet per Second to Meters per Second

Whether you need to express a value in m/s instead of ft/s, this guide walks you through the exact steps. Speed conversions connect metric road limits, aviation knots, and imperial miles per hour — common when traveling internationally or reading foreign weather reports.

Formula: Multiply the feet per second value by 0.3048. In equation form: m/s = ft/s × 0.3048.

One feet per second equals approximately 0.3048 m/s. This means you can multiply any ft/s value by 0.3048 to get the equivalent in m/s.

For instance, converting 100 ft/s gives 30.48 m/s. Try different values using the quick-value chips or type directly into the input field.

Common mistake: Knots measure nautical miles per hour, not statute miles — they are close but not identical to mph.
