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 1098 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1098 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

1098 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1098 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1853.2152230955 ft/s

The final result is:

1098 kt → 1853.2152230955 ft/s

We conclude that 1098 knots is equivalent to 1853.2152230955 feet per second:

1098 knots = 1853.2152230955 feet per second
