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 1530 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1530 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

1530 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1530 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2582.3490813626 ft/s

The final result is:

1530 kt → 2582.3490813626 ft/s

We conclude that 1530 knots is equivalent to 2582.3490813626 feet per second:

1530 knots = 2582.3490813626 feet per second

Alternative conversion
