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 338 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 338 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

338 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 338 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 570.47973169971 ft/s

The final result is:

338 kt → 570.47973169971 ft/s

We conclude that 338 knots is equivalent to 570.47973169971 feet per second:

338 knots = 570.47973169971 feet per second

Alternative conversion
