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 1430 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1430 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

1430 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1430 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2413.5680956526 ft/s

The final result is:

1430 kt → 2413.5680956526 ft/s

We conclude that 1430 knots is equivalent to 2413.5680956526 feet per second:

1430 knots = 2413.5680956526 feet per second
