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 2428 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2428 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

2428 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2428 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4098.0023330382 ft/s

The final result is:

2428 kt → 4098.0023330382 ft/s

We conclude that 2428 knots is equivalent to 4098.0023330382 feet per second:

2428 knots = 4098.0023330382 feet per second
