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 229 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 229 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
229 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 229 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 386.50845727584 ft/s
The final result is:
229 kt → 386.50845727584 ft/s
We conclude that 229 knots is equivalent to 386.50845727584 feet per second:
229 knots = 386.50845727584 feet per second
Alternative conversion
