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 1509 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1509 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

1509 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1509 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2546.9050743635 ft/s

The final result is:

1509 kt → 2546.9050743635 ft/s

We conclude that 1509 knots is equivalent to 2546.9050743635 feet per second:

1509 knots = 2546.9050743635 feet per second
