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 1431 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1431 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

1431 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1431 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2415.2559055097 ft/s

The final result is:

1431 kt → 2415.2559055097 ft/s

We conclude that 1431 knots is equivalent to 2415.2559055097 feet per second:

1431 knots = 2415.2559055097 feet per second

Alternative conversion
