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 288 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 288 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
288 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 288 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 170.63533477337 kt
The final result is:
288 ft/s → 170.63533477337 kt
We conclude that 288 feet per second is equivalent to 170.63533477337 knots:
288 feet per second = 170.63533477337 knots
Alternative conversion
