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 1080 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1080 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

1080 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1080 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1822.8346456677 ft/s

The final result is:

1080 kt → 1822.8346456677 ft/s

We conclude that 1080 knots is equivalent to 1822.8346456677 feet per second:

1080 knots = 1822.8346456677 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 0.00054859611231149 × 1080 knots.

Another way is saying that 1080 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00054859611231149 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 eighty knots is approximately one thousand eight hundred twenty-two point eight three five feet per second:

1080 kt ≅ 1822.835 ft/s

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