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 1461 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1461 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

1461 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1461 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2465.8902012227 ft/s

The final result is:

1461 kt → 2465.8902012227 ft/s

We conclude that 1461 knots is equivalent to 2465.8902012227 feet per second:

1461 knots = 2465.8902012227 feet per second
