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 1181 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1181 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

1181 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1181 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1993.3034412348 ft/s

The final result is:

1181 kt → 1993.3034412348 ft/s

We conclude that 1181 knots is equivalent to 1993.3034412348 feet per second:

1181 knots = 1993.3034412348 feet per second
