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 1268 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1268 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

1268 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1268 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2140.1428988025 ft/s

The final result is:

1268 kt → 2140.1428988025 ft/s

We conclude that 1268 knots is equivalent to 2140.1428988025 feet per second:

1268 knots = 2140.1428988025 feet per second

Alternative conversion
