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 1177 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1177 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

1177 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1177 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1986.5522018064 ft/s

The final result is:

1177 kt → 1986.5522018064 ft/s

We conclude that 1177 knots is equivalent to 1986.5522018064 feet per second:

1177 knots = 1986.5522018064 feet per second

Alternative conversion
