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 1277 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1277 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

1277 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1277 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 756.60181425551 kt

The final result is:

1277 ft/s → 756.60181425551 kt

We conclude that 1277 feet per second is equivalent to 756.60181425551 knots:

1277 feet per second = 756.60181425551 knots
