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 1027 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1027 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

1027 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1027 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1733.3807232414 ft/s

The final result is:

1027 kt → 1733.3807232414 ft/s

We conclude that 1027 knots is equivalent to 1733.3807232414 feet per second:

1027 knots = 1733.3807232414 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 0.00057690730408608 × 1027 knots.

Another way is saying that 1027 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00057690730408608 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-seven knots is approximately one thousand seven hundred thirty-three point three eight one feet per second:

1027 kt ≅ 1733.381 ft/s

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