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 1046.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1046.4 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

1046.4 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1046.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1766.1242344692 ft/s

The final result is:

1046.4 kt → 1766.1242344692 ft/s

We conclude that 1046.4 knots is equivalent to 1766.1242344692 feet per second:

1046.4 knots = 1766.1242344692 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 0.00056621158380773 × 1046.4 knots.

Another way is saying that 1046.4 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00056621158380773 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 forty-six point four knots is approximately one thousand seven hundred sixty-six point one two four feet per second:

1046.4 kt ≅ 1766.124 ft/s

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