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 1518 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1518 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

1518 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1518 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2562.0953630774 ft/s

The final result is:

1518 kt → 2562.0953630774 ft/s

We conclude that 1518 knots is equivalent to 2562.0953630774 feet per second:

1518 knots = 2562.0953630774 feet per second

Alternative conversion
