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 1049.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1049.4 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
1049.4 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 1049.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 1771.1876640405 ft/s
The final result is:
1049.4 kt → 1771.1876640405 ft/s
We conclude that 1049.4 knots is equivalent to 1771.1876640405 feet per second:
1049.4 knots = 1771.1876640405 feet per second
