1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt
To convert 1440 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1440 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
1440 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 1440 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 853.17667386683 kt
The final result is:
1440 ft/s → 853.17667386683 kt
We conclude that 1440 feet per second is equivalent to 853.17667386683 knots:
