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 1297 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1297 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

1297 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1297 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 768.45149028144 kt

The final result is:

1297 ft/s → 768.45149028144 kt

We conclude that 1297 feet per second is equivalent to 768.45149028144 knots:

1297 feet per second = 768.45149028144 knots
