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 1073 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1073 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

1073 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1073 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1811.019976668 ft/s

The final result is:

1073 kt → 1811.019976668 ft/s

We conclude that 1073 knots is equivalent to 1811.019976668 feet per second:

1073 knots = 1811.019976668 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 0.00055217502450737 × 1073 knots.

Another way is saying that 1073 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00055217502450737 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-three knots is approximately one thousand eight hundred eleven point zero two feet per second:

1073 kt ≅ 1811.02 ft/s

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