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 1388 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1388 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

1388 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1388 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2342.6800816544 ft/s

The final result is:

1388 kt → 2342.6800816544 ft/s

We conclude that 1388 knots is equivalent to 2342.6800816544 feet per second:

1388 knots = 2342.6800816544 feet per second
