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 748 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 748 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

748 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 748 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1262.4817731106 ft/s

The final result is:

748 kt → 1262.4817731106 ft/s

We conclude that 748 knots is equivalent to 1262.4817731106 feet per second:

748 knots = 1262.4817731106 feet per second

Alternative conversion
