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 1168 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1168 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

1168 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1168 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1971.3619130925 ft/s

The final result is:

1168 kt → 1971.3619130925 ft/s

We conclude that 1168 knots is equivalent to 1971.3619130925 feet per second:

1168 knots = 1971.3619130925 feet per second
