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 1449 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1449 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

1449 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1449 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2445.6364829375 ft/s

The final result is:

1449 kt → 2445.6364829375 ft/s

We conclude that 1449 knots is equivalent to 2445.6364829375 feet per second:

1449 knots = 2445.6364829375 feet per second
