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 1070 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1070 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

1070 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1070 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1805.9565470967 ft/s

The final result is:

1070 kt → 1805.9565470967 ft/s

We conclude that 1070 knots is equivalent to 1805.9565470967 feet per second:

1070 knots = 1805.9565470967 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00055372317878169 × 1070 knots.

Another way is saying that 1070 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00055372317878169 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand seventy knots is approximately one thousand eight hundred five point nine five seven feet per second:

1070 kt ≅ 1805.957 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand seventy knots.
