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 1424 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1424 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

1424 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1424 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 843.69693304609 kt

The final result is:

1424 ft/s → 843.69693304609 kt

We conclude that 1424 feet per second is equivalent to 843.69693304609 knots:

1424 feet per second = 843.69693304609 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0011852597311094 × 1424 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1424 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0011852597311094 knots.

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-four feet per second is approximately eight hundred forty-three point six nine seven knots:

1424 ft/s ≅ 843.697 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand four hundred twenty-four feet per second.
