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 1050 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1050 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

1050 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1050 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1772.2003499547 ft/s

The final result is:

1050 kt → 1772.2003499547 ft/s

We conclude that 1050 knots is equivalent to 1772.2003499547 feet per second:

1050 knots = 1772.2003499547 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 0.00056427028694896 × 1050 knots.

Another way is saying that 1050 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00056427028694896 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 fifty knots is approximately one thousand seven hundred seventy-two point two feet per second:

1050 kt ≅ 1772.2 ft/s

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