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 1271 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1271 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

1271 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1271 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2145.2063283738 ft/s

The final result is:

1271 kt → 2145.2063283738 ft/s

We conclude that 1271 knots is equivalent to 2145.2063283738 feet per second:

1271 knots = 2145.2063283738 feet per second
