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 1473 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1473 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

1473 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1473 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2486.1439195079 ft/s

The final result is:

1473 kt → 2486.1439195079 ft/s

We conclude that 1473 knots is equivalent to 2486.1439195079 feet per second:
