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 1438 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1438 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

1438 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1438 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2427.0705745094 ft/s

The final result is:

1438 kt → 2427.0705745094 ft/s

We conclude that 1438 knots is equivalent to 2427.0705745094 feet per second:

1438 knots = 2427.0705745094 feet per second

Alternative conversion
