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 1180 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1180 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

1180 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1180 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1991.6156313777 ft/s

The final result is:

1180 kt → 1991.6156313777 ft/s

We conclude that 1180 knots is equivalent to 1991.6156313777 feet per second:

1180 knots = 1991.6156313777 feet per second
