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 1157 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1157 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

1157 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1157 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1952.7960046644 ft/s

The final result is:

1157 kt → 1952.7960046644 ft/s

We conclude that 1157 knots is equivalent to 1952.7960046644 feet per second:

1157 knots = 1952.7960046644 feet per second
