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 1496 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1496 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

1496 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1496 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 886.35576673943 kt

The final result is:

1496 ft/s → 886.35576673943 kt

We conclude that 1496 feet per second is equivalent to 886.35576673943 knots:

1496 feet per second = 886.35576673943 knots
