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 1515 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1515 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

1515 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1515 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2557.0319335061 ft/s

The final result is:

1515 kt → 2557.0319335061 ft/s

We conclude that 1515 knots is equivalent to 2557.0319335061 feet per second:

1515 knots = 2557.0319335061 feet per second

Alternative conversion
