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 242.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 242.4 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
242.4 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 242.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 409.12510936098 ft/s
The final result is:
242.4 kt → 409.12510936098 ft/s
We conclude that 242.4 knots is equivalent to 409.12510936098 feet per second:
242.4 knots = 409.12510936098 feet per second
