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 1166 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1166 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

1166 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1166 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1967.9862933783 ft/s

The final result is:

1166 kt → 1967.9862933783 ft/s

We conclude that 1166 knots is equivalent to 1967.9862933783 feet per second:
