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 1016 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1016 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

1016 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1016 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1714.8148148133 ft/s

The final result is:

1016 kt → 1714.8148148133 ft/s

We conclude that 1016 knots is equivalent to 1714.8148148133 feet per second:

1016 knots = 1714.8148148133 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 0.00058315334773269 × 1016 knots.

Another way is saying that 1016 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00058315334773269 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 sixteen knots is approximately one thousand seven hundred fourteen point eight one five feet per second:

1016 kt ≅ 1714.815 ft/s

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