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 1266 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1266 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

1266 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1266 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2136.7672790883 ft/s

The final result is:

1266 kt → 2136.7672790883 ft/s

We conclude that 1266 knots is equivalent to 2136.7672790883 feet per second:

1266 knots = 2136.7672790883 feet per second

Alternative conversion
