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 1283 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1283 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

1283 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1283 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 760.15671706329 kt

The final result is:

1283 ft/s → 760.15671706329 kt

We conclude that 1283 feet per second is equivalent to 760.15671706329 knots:

1283 feet per second = 760.15671706329 knots

Alternative conversion
