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 1440 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1440 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

1440 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1440 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2430.4461942236 ft/s

The final result is:

1440 kt → 2430.4461942236 ft/s

We conclude that 1440 knots is equivalent to 2430.4461942236 feet per second:

1440 knots = 2430.4461942236 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00041144708423362 × 1440 knots.

Another way is saying that 1440 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00041144708423362 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand four hundred forty knots is approximately two thousand four hundred thirty point four four six feet per second:

1440 kt ≅ 2430.446 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times one thousand four hundred forty knots.
