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 1073 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1073 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

1073 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1073 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 635.73511879105 kt

The final result is:

1073 ft/s → 635.73511879105 kt

We conclude that 1073 feet per second is equivalent to 635.73511879105 knots:

1073 feet per second = 635.73511879105 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0015729821594592 × 1073 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1073 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0015729821594592 knots.

Approximate result

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

1073 ft/s ≅ 635.735 kt

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