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 344 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 344 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

344 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 344 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 580.60659084231 ft/s

The final result is:

344 kt → 580.60659084231 ft/s

We conclude that 344 knots is equivalent to 580.60659084231 feet per second:

344 knots = 580.60659084231 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.0017223366316756 × 344 knots.

Another way is saying that 344 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0017223366316756 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three hundred forty-four knots is approximately five hundred eighty point six zero seven feet per second:

344 kt ≅ 580.607 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times three hundred forty-four knots.
