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 1461 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1461 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

1461 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1461 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 865.61883369405 kt

The final result is:

1461 ft/s → 865.61883369405 kt

We conclude that 1461 feet per second is equivalent to 865.61883369405 knots:

1461 feet per second = 865.61883369405 knots
