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 230 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 230 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

230 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 230 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 388.19626713294 ft/s

The final result is:

230 kt → 388.19626713294 ft/s

We conclude that 230 knots is equivalent to 388.19626713294 feet per second:

230 knots = 388.19626713294 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 0.0025760165273757 × 230 knots.

Another way is saying that 230 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0025760165273757 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 thirty knots is approximately three hundred eighty-eight point one nine six feet per second:

230 kt ≅ 388.196 ft/s

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