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 1026 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1026 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

1026 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1026 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1731.6929133843 ft/s

The final result is:

1026 kt → 1731.6929133843 ft/s

We conclude that 1026 knots is equivalent to 1731.6929133843 feet per second:

1026 knots = 1731.6929133843 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 0.00057746959190683 × 1026 knots.

Another way is saying that 1026 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00057746959190683 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-six knots is approximately one thousand seven hundred thirty-one point six nine three feet per second:

1026 kt ≅ 1731.693 ft/s

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