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 1237 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1237 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

1237 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1237 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2087.8207932324 ft/s

The final result is:

1237 kt → 2087.8207932324 ft/s

We conclude that 1237 knots is equivalent to 2087.8207932324 feet per second:

1237 knots = 2087.8207932324 feet per second

Alternative conversion
