Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1063 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1063 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

1063 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1063 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 629.81028077808 kt

The final result is:

1063 ft/s → 629.81028077808 kt

We conclude that 1063 feet per second is equivalent to 629.81028077808 knots:

1063 feet per second = 629.81028077808 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0015877797338662 × 1063 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1063 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0015877797338662 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand sixty-three feet per second is approximately six hundred twenty-nine point eight one knots:

1063 ft/s ≅ 629.81 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand sixty-three feet per second.
