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 290 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 290 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
290 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 290 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 489.46485855892 ft/s
The final result is:
290 kt → 489.46485855892 ft/s
We conclude that 290 knots is equivalent to 489.46485855892 feet per second:
290 knots = 489.46485855892 feet per second
