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 248 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 248 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

248 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 248 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 418.57684456073 ft/s

The final result is:

248 kt → 418.57684456073 ft/s

We conclude that 248 knots is equivalent to 418.57684456073 feet per second:

248 knots = 418.57684456073 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 0.0023890475858726 × 248 knots.

Another way is saying that 248 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0023890475858726 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 forty-eight knots is approximately four hundred eighteen point five seven seven feet per second:

248 kt ≅ 418.577 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times two hundred forty-eight knots.
