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 283 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 283 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

283 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 283 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 167.67291576688 kt

The final result is:

283 ft/s → 167.67291576688 kt

We conclude that 283 feet per second is equivalent to 167.67291576688 knots:
