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 2858 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2858 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

2858 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2858 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1693.3187041051 kt

The final result is:

2858 ft/s → 1693.3187041051 kt

We conclude that 2858 feet per second is equivalent to 1693.3187041051 knots:

2858 feet per second = 1693.3187041051 knots
