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 288 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 288 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
288 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 288 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 486.08923884472 ft/s
The final result is:
288 kt → 486.08923884472 ft/s
We conclude that 288 knots is equivalent to 486.08923884472 feet per second:
288 knots = 486.08923884472 feet per second
