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 1061 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1061 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

1061 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1061 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1790.7662583828 ft/s

The final result is:

1061 kt → 1790.7662583828 ft/s

We conclude that 1061 knots is equivalent to 1790.7662583828 feet per second:
