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 1447 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1447 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

1447 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1447 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2442.2608632233 ft/s

The final result is:

1447 kt → 2442.2608632233 ft/s

We conclude that 1447 knots is equivalent to 2442.2608632233 feet per second:

1447 knots = 2442.2608632233 feet per second

Alternative conversion
