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 1138 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1138 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

1138 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1138 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1920.7276173795 ft/s

The final result is:

1138 kt → 1920.7276173795 ft/s

We conclude that 1138 knots is equivalent to 1920.7276173795 feet per second:

1138 knots = 1920.7276173795 feet per second

Alternative conversion
