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 1420 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1420 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

1420 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1420 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2396.6899970816 ft/s

The final result is:

1420 kt → 2396.6899970816 ft/s

We conclude that 1420 knots is equivalent to 2396.6899970816 feet per second:

1420 knots = 2396.6899970816 feet per second
