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 1158 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1158 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

1158 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1158 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 686.09624190124 kt

The final result is:

1158 ft/s → 686.09624190124 kt

We conclude that 1158 feet per second is equivalent to 686.09624190124 knots:

1158 feet per second = 686.09624190124 knots

Alternative conversion
