Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 2488 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2488 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

2488 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 2488 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1474.0996976255 kt

The final result is:

2488 ft/s → 1474.0996976255 kt

We conclude that 2488 feet per second is equivalent to 1474.0996976255 knots:

2488 feet per second = 1474.0996976255 knots

Alternative conversion
