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 1427 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1427 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

1427 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1427 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2408.5046660813 ft/s

The final result is:

1427 kt → 2408.5046660813 ft/s

We conclude that 1427 knots is equivalent to 2408.5046660813 feet per second:

1427 knots = 2408.5046660813 feet per second

Alternative conversion
