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 1071 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1071 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

1071 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1071 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1807.6443569538 ft/s

The final result is:

1071 kt → 1807.6443569538 ft/s

We conclude that 1071 knots is equivalent to 1807.6443569538 feet per second:

1071 knots = 1807.6443569538 feet per second

Alternative conversion
