Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1442 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1442 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

1442 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1442 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 854.36164146942 kt

The final result is:

1442 ft/s → 854.36164146942 kt

We conclude that 1442 feet per second is equivalent to 854.36164146942 knots:

1442 feet per second = 854.36164146942 knots

Alternative conversion
