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 1056 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1056 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

1056 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1056 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1782.3272090973 ft/s

The final result is:

1056 kt → 1782.3272090973 ft/s

We conclude that 1056 knots is equivalent to 1782.3272090973 feet per second:

1056 knots = 1782.3272090973 feet per second

Alternative conversion
