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 1400 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1400 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

1400 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1400 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2362.9337999396 ft/s

The final result is:

1400 kt → 2362.9337999396 ft/s

We conclude that 1400 knots is equivalent to 2362.9337999396 feet per second:

1400 knots = 2362.9337999396 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00042320271521172 × 1400 knots.

Another way is saying that 1400 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00042320271521172 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand four hundred knots is approximately two thousand three hundred sixty-two point nine three four feet per second:

1400 kt ≅ 2362.934 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times one thousand four hundred knots.
