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 1055 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1055 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

1055 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1055 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1780.6393992402 ft/s

The final result is:

1055 kt → 1780.6393992402 ft/s

We conclude that 1055 knots is equivalent to 1780.6393992402 feet per second:

1055 knots = 1780.6393992402 feet per second

Alternative conversion
