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 18.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 18.4 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

18.4 kt → V(ft/s)

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

V(ft/s) = 18.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 31.055701370635 ft/s

The final result is:

18.4 kt → 31.055701370635 ft/s

We conclude that 18.4 knots is equivalent to 31.055701370635 feet per second:

18.4 knots = 31.055701370635 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.032200206592196 × 18.4 knots.

Another way is saying that 18.4 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.032200206592196 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eighteen point four knots is approximately thirty-one point zero five six feet per second:

18.4 kt ≅ 31.056 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero three two times eighteen point four knots.
