Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1047.8 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1047.8 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

1047.8 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1047.8 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 620.80452699838 kt

The final result is:

1047.8 ft/s → 620.80452699838 kt

We conclude that 1047.8 feet per second is equivalent to 620.80452699838 knots:

1047.8 feet per second = 620.80452699838 knots

Alternative conversion
