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 2988 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2988 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

2988 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2988 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1770.3415982737 kt

The final result is:

2988 ft/s → 1770.3415982737 kt

We conclude that 2988 feet per second is equivalent to 1770.3415982737 knots:

2988 feet per second = 1770.3415982737 knots
