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 1260 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1260 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

1260 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1260 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2126.6404199457 ft/s

The final result is:

1260 kt → 2126.6404199457 ft/s

We conclude that 1260 knots is equivalent to 2126.6404199457 feet per second:

1260 knots = 2126.6404199457 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 0.00047022523912413 × 1260 knots.

Another way is saying that 1260 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00047022523912413 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 sixty knots is approximately two thousand one hundred twenty-six point six four feet per second:

1260 kt ≅ 2126.64 ft/s

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