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 1097 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1097 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

1097 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1097 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 649.95473002216 kt

The final result is:

1097 ft/s → 649.95473002216 kt

We conclude that 1097 feet per second is equivalent to 649.95473002216 knots:

1097 feet per second = 649.95473002216 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.001538568693801 × 1097 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1097 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.001538568693801 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand ninety-seven feet per second is approximately six hundred forty-nine point nine five five knots:

1097 ft/s ≅ 649.955 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand ninety-seven feet per second.
