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 1148 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1148 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

1148 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1148 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1937.6057159505 ft/s

The final result is:

1148 kt → 1937.6057159505 ft/s

We conclude that 1148 knots is equivalent to 1937.6057159505 feet per second:

1148 knots = 1937.6057159505 feet per second

Alternative conversion
