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 1543 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1543 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

1543 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1543 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2604.2906095049 ft/s

The final result is:

1543 kt → 2604.2906095049 ft/s

We conclude that 1543 knots is equivalent to 2604.2906095049 feet per second:

1543 knots = 2604.2906095049 feet per second

Alternative conversion
