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 284.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 284.4 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
284.4 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 284.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 480.01312335917 ft/s
The final result is:
284.4 kt → 480.01312335917 ft/s
We conclude that 284.4 knots is equivalent to 480.01312335917 feet per second:
284.4 knots = 480.01312335917 feet per second
Alternative conversion
