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 1158 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1158 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

1158 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1158 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1954.4838145215 ft/s

The final result is:

1158 kt → 1954.4838145215 ft/s

We conclude that 1158 knots is equivalent to 1954.4838145215 feet per second:

1158 knots = 1954.4838145215 feet per second
