About Converting ft/s to Yard per Hours
ft/s and Yard per Hours both describe speed, and the conversion matters whenever a maritime or aviation speed (knots) needs to be compared against a road speed (mph). Specifically: Feet per second, and distance divided by time.
Formula
yard per hours = ft/s × 1200
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 ft/s equals 0.3048 base units, and 1 yard per hours equals 0.000254 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct ft/s-to-yard per hours factor of 1200.
Simple example
1 ft/s × 1200 = 1,200 yd/h
1 ft/s = 1,200 yard per hours.
Real-world example
10 ft/s × 1200 = 12,000 yd/h
10 ft/s = 12,000 yard per hours.
