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 1478 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1478 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

1478 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1478 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 875.69105831609 kt

The final result is:

1478 ft/s → 875.69105831609 kt

We conclude that 1478 feet per second is equivalent to 875.69105831609 knots:
