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 1561 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1561 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

1561 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1561 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2634.6711869327 ft/s

The final result is:

1561 kt → 2634.6711869327 ft/s

We conclude that 1561 knots is equivalent to 2634.6711869327 feet per second:
