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 2638 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2638 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

2638 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2638 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1562.9722678199 kt

The final result is:

2638 ft/s → 1562.9722678199 kt

We conclude that 2638 feet per second is equivalent to 1562.9722678199 knots:

2638 feet per second = 1562.9722678199 knots

Alternative conversion
