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 28.3 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 28.3 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
28.3 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 28.3 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 47.765018955923 ft/s
The final result is:
28.3 kt → 47.765018955923 ft/s
We conclude that 28.3 knots is equivalent to 47.765018955923 feet per second:
28.3 knots = 47.765018955923 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 0.020935823367364 × 28.3 knots.
Another way is saying that 28.3 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.020935823367364 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-eight point three knots is approximately forty-seven point seven six five feet per second:
28.3 kt ≅ 47.765 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero two one times twenty-eight point three knots.
