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 988 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 988 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
988 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 988 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 585.37399568085 kt
The final result is:
988 ft/s → 585.37399568085 kt
We conclude that 988 feet per second is equivalent to 585.37399568085 knots:
988 feet per second = 585.37399568085 knots
Alternative conversion
