Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 1228 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1228 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

1228 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 1228 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2072.6305045185 ft/s

The final result is:

1228 kt → 2072.6305045185 ft/s

We conclude that 1228 knots is equivalent to 2072.6305045185 feet per second:

1228 knots = 2072.6305045185 feet per second

Alternative conversion
