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 1255 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1255 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

1255 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1255 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2118.2013706602 ft/s

The final result is:

1255 kt → 2118.2013706602 ft/s

We conclude that 1255 knots is equivalent to 2118.2013706602 feet per second:

1255 knots = 2118.2013706602 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 0.00047209864645132 × 1255 knots.

Another way is saying that 1255 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00047209864645132 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 fifty-five knots is approximately two thousand one hundred eighteen point two zero one feet per second:

1255 kt ≅ 2118.201 ft/s

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