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 28.6 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 28.6 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

28.6 kt → V(ft/s)

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

V(ft/s) = 28.6 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 48.271361913052 ft/s

The final result is:

28.6 kt → 48.271361913052 ft/s

We conclude that 28.6 knots is equivalent to 48.271361913052 feet per second:

28.6 knots = 48.271361913052 feet per second

Alternative conversion
