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 268 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 268 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

268 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 268 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 452.33304170273 ft/s

The final result is:

268 kt → 452.33304170273 ft/s

We conclude that 268 knots is equivalent to 452.33304170273 feet per second:

268 knots = 452.33304170273 feet per second

Alternative conversion
