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 1521 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1521 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

1521 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1521 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2567.1587926487 ft/s

The final result is:

1521 kt → 2567.1587926487 ft/s

We conclude that 1521 knots is equivalent to 2567.1587926487 feet per second:

1521 knots = 2567.1587926487 feet per second
