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 1160 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1160 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

1160 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1160 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1957.8594342357 ft/s

The final result is:

1160 kt → 1957.8594342357 ft/s

We conclude that 1160 knots is equivalent to 1957.8594342357 feet per second:

1160 knots = 1957.8594342357 feet per second
