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 2800 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2800 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

2800 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2800 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1658.9546436299 kt

The final result is:

2800 ft/s → 1658.9546436299 kt

We conclude that 2800 feet per second is equivalent to 1658.9546436299 knots:

2800 feet per second = 1658.9546436299 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00060278923467848 × 2800 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 2800 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00060278923467848 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two thousand eight hundred feet per second is approximately one thousand six hundred fifty-eight point nine five five knots:

2800 ft/s ≅ 1658.955 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times two thousand eight hundred feet per second.
