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 1149 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1149 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

1149 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1149 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1939.2935258076 ft/s

The final result is:

1149 kt → 1939.2935258076 ft/s

We conclude that 1149 knots is equivalent to 1939.2935258076 feet per second:

1149 knots = 1939.2935258076 feet per second

Alternative conversion
