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 1200 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1200 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

1200 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1200 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2025.3718285197 ft/s

The final result is:

1200 kt → 2025.3718285197 ft/s

We conclude that 1200 knots is equivalent to 2025.3718285197 feet per second:

1200 knots = 2025.3718285197 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00049373650108034 × 1200 knots.

Another way is saying that 1200 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00049373650108034 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand two hundred knots is approximately two thousand twenty-five point three seven two feet per second:

1200 kt ≅ 2025.372 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times one thousand two hundred knots.
