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 1428 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1428 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

1428 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1428 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2410.1924759384 ft/s

The final result is:

1428 kt → 2410.1924759384 ft/s

We conclude that 1428 knots is equivalent to 2410.1924759384 feet per second:

1428 knots = 2410.1924759384 feet per second

Alternative conversion
