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 1087 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1087 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

1087 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1087 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1834.6493146674 ft/s

The final result is:

1087 kt → 1834.6493146674 ft/s

We conclude that 1087 knots is equivalent to 1834.6493146674 feet per second:

1087 knots = 1834.6493146674 feet per second

Alternative conversion
