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 1387 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1387 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

1387 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1387 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2340.9922717973 ft/s

The final result is:

1387 kt → 2340.9922717973 ft/s

We conclude that 1387 knots is equivalent to 2340.9922717973 feet per second:
