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 998 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 998 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

998 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 998 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 591.29883369382 kt

The final result is:

998 ft/s → 591.29883369382 kt

We conclude that 998 feet per second is equivalent to 591.29883369382 knots:

998 feet per second = 591.29883369382 knots

Alternative conversion
