Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1260 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1260 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

1260 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1260 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 746.52958963347 kt

The final result is:

1260 ft/s → 746.52958963347 kt

We conclude that 1260 feet per second is equivalent to 746.52958963347 knots:

1260 feet per second = 746.52958963347 knots

Alternative conversion
