Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1540 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1540 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

1540 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1540 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 912.42505399647 kt

The final result is:

1540 ft/s → 912.42505399647 kt

We conclude that 1540 feet per second is equivalent to 912.42505399647 knots:

1540 feet per second = 912.42505399647 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0010959804266881 × 1540 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1540 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0010959804266881 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand five hundred forty feet per second is approximately nine hundred twelve point four two five knots:

1540 ft/s ≅ 912.425 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand five hundred forty feet per second.
