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 1023.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1023.9 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

1023.9 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1023.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1728.1485126844 ft/s

The final result is:

1023.9 kt → 1728.1485126844 ft/s

We conclude that 1023.9 knots is equivalent to 1728.1485126844 feet per second:

1023.9 knots = 1728.1485126844 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 0.00057865397138042 × 1023.9 knots.

Another way is saying that 1023.9 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00057865397138042 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 twenty-three point nine knots is approximately one thousand seven hundred twenty-eight point one four nine feet per second:

1023.9 kt ≅ 1728.149 ft/s

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