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 728 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 728 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

728 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 728 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1228.7255759686 ft/s

The final result is:

728 kt → 1228.7255759686 ft/s

We conclude that 728 knots is equivalent to 1228.7255759686 feet per second:

728 knots = 1228.7255759686 feet per second

Alternative conversion
