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 1087 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1087 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

1087 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 1087 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 644.0298920092 kt

The final result is:

1087 ft/s → 644.0298920092 kt

We conclude that 1087 feet per second is equivalent to 644.0298920092 knots:

1087 feet per second = 644.0298920092 knots
