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 1053 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1053 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

1053 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1053 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1777.263779526 ft/s

The final result is:

1053 kt → 1777.263779526 ft/s

We conclude that 1053 knots is equivalent to 1777.263779526 feet per second:

1053 knots = 1777.263779526 feet per second

Alternative conversion
