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 1005.3 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1005.3 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

1005.3 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1005.3 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1696.7552493424 ft/s

The final result is:

1005.3 kt → 1696.7552493424 ft/s

We conclude that 1005.3 knots is equivalent to 1696.7552493424 feet per second:

1005.3 knots = 1696.7552493424 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00058936019227734 × 1005.3 knots.

Another way is saying that 1005.3 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00058936019227734 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand five point three knots is approximately one thousand six hundred ninety-six point seven five five feet per second:

1005.3 kt ≅ 1696.755 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand five point three knots.
