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 438 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 438 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
438 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 438 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 259.50790496783 kt
The final result is:
438 ft/s → 259.50790496783 kt
We conclude that 438 feet per second is equivalent to 259.50790496783 knots:
438 feet per second = 259.50790496783 knots
Alternative conversion
