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 1072 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1072 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

1072 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1072 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1809.3321668109 ft/s

The final result is:

1072 kt → 1809.3321668109 ft/s

We conclude that 1072 knots is equivalent to 1809.3321668109 feet per second:

1072 knots = 1809.3321668109 feet per second

Alternative conversion
