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 1051 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1051 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

1051 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1051 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1773.8881598118 ft/s

The final result is:

1051 kt → 1773.8881598118 ft/s

We conclude that 1051 knots is equivalent to 1773.8881598118 feet per second:

1051 knots = 1773.8881598118 feet per second
