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 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 284 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 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 284 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 479.33799941633 ft/s

The final result is:

284 kt → 479.33799941633 ft/s

We conclude that 284 knots is equivalent to 479.33799941633 feet per second:

284 knots = 479.33799941633 feet per second
