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 1531 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1531 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

1531 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1531 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2584.0368912197 ft/s

The final result is:

1531 kt → 2584.0368912197 ft/s

We conclude that 1531 knots is equivalent to 2584.0368912197 feet per second:

1531 knots = 2584.0368912197 feet per second

Alternative conversion
