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 1472 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1472 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

1472 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1472 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2484.4561096508 ft/s

The final result is:

1472 kt → 2484.4561096508 ft/s

We conclude that 1472 knots is equivalent to 2484.4561096508 feet per second:

1472 knots = 2484.4561096508 feet per second
