Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1180 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1180 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

1180 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1180 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 699.13088552976 kt

The final result is:

1180 ft/s → 699.13088552976 kt

We conclude that 1180 feet per second is equivalent to 699.13088552976 knots:

1180 feet per second = 699.13088552976 knots

Alternative conversion
