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 1422 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1422 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

1422 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1422 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2400.0656167958 ft/s

The final result is:

1422 kt → 2400.0656167958 ft/s

We conclude that 1422 knots is equivalent to 2400.0656167958 feet per second:

1422 knots = 2400.0656167958 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 0.00041665527517328 × 1422 knots.

Another way is saying that 1422 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00041665527517328 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 twenty-two knots is approximately two thousand four hundred point zero six six feet per second:

1422 kt ≅ 2400.066 ft/s

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