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 2438 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2438 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

2438 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2438 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4114.8804316092 ft/s

The final result is:

2438 kt → 4114.8804316092 ft/s

We conclude that 2438 knots is equivalent to 4114.8804316092 feet per second:

2438 knots = 4114.8804316092 feet per second
