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 498 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 498 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
498 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 498 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 840.52930883567 ft/s
The final result is:
498 kt → 840.52930883567 ft/s
We conclude that 498 knots is equivalent to 840.52930883567 feet per second:
