1 ft/s equals 0.3048 m/s. To convert ft/s to m/s, multiply the value by 0.3048; divide by 0.3048 to convert back. Enter any number above and the result appears instantly — free and entirely in your browser.
How do you convert ft/s to m/s?
The conversion formula is m/s = ft/s × 0.3048. The conversion factor is fixed by definition, so the result is always exact.

What is ft/s (ft/s)?
Feet per second (ft/s) is the imperial counterpart of metres per second, exactly 0.3048 m/s. It appears in US engineering, ballistics and ventilation specifications.
What is m/s (m/s)?
Metres per second (m/s) is the SI unit of speed, used in physics and for wind speeds. One m/s equals exactly 3.6 km/h.
Why convert ft/s to m/s?
Road speeds are posted in km/h in most countries but in mph in the US and UK; shipping and aviation use knots, physics and wind data use metres per second. Converting between them is routine for travel, sailing and sport.
One knot is exactly 1.852 km/h — one international nautical mile (1,852 m, standardised in 1929) per hour. And 100 km/h equals 62.137 mph or 27.778 m/s.
