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 296 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 296 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

296 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 296 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 499.59171770152 ft/s

The final result is:

296 kt → 499.59171770152 ft/s

We conclude that 296 knots is equivalent to 499.59171770152 feet per second:

296 knots = 499.59171770152 feet per second
