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 285 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 285 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
285 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 285 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 481.02580927343 ft/s
The final result is:
285 kt → 481.02580927343 ft/s
We conclude that 285 knots is equivalent to 481.02580927343 feet per second:
285 knots = 481.02580927343 feet per second
