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 218 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 218 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

218 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 218 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 367.94254884774 ft/s

The final result is:

218 kt → 367.94254884774 ft/s

We conclude that 218 knots is equivalent to 367.94254884774 feet per second:

218 knots = 367.94254884774 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 0.0027178156022771 × 218 knots.

Another way is saying that 218 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0027178156022771 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred eighteen knots is approximately three hundred sixty-seven point nine four three feet per second:

218 kt ≅ 367.943 ft/s

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