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 1109 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1109 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

1109 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1109 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1871.7811315236 ft/s

The final result is:

1109 kt → 1871.7811315236 ft/s

We conclude that 1109 knots is equivalent to 1871.7811315236 feet per second:

1109 knots = 1871.7811315236 feet per second

Alternative conversion
