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 1090 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1090 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

1090 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1090 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1839.7127442387 ft/s

The final result is:

1090 kt → 1839.7127442387 ft/s

We conclude that 1090 knots is equivalent to 1839.7127442387 feet per second:

1090 knots = 1839.7127442387 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 0.00054356312045542 × 1090 knots.

Another way is saying that 1090 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00054356312045542 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 ninety knots is approximately one thousand eight hundred thirty-nine point seven one three feet per second:

1090 kt ≅ 1839.713 ft/s

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