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 1165 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1165 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

1165 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1165 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1966.2984835212 ft/s

The final result is:

1165 kt → 1966.2984835212 ft/s

We conclude that 1165 knots is equivalent to 1966.2984835212 feet per second:

1165 knots = 1966.2984835212 feet per second
