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 2588 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2588 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

2588 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2588 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4368.0519101741 ft/s

The final result is:

2588 kt → 4368.0519101741 ft/s

We conclude that 2588 knots is equivalent to 4368.0519101741 feet per second:

2588 knots = 4368.0519101741 feet per second
