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 1146 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1146 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

1146 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1146 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 678.98643628568 kt

The final result is:

1146 ft/s → 678.98643628568 kt

We conclude that 1146 feet per second is equivalent to 678.98643628568 knots:

1146 feet per second = 678.98643628568 knots

Alternative conversion
