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 1563 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1563 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

1563 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1563 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2638.0468066469 ft/s

The final result is:

1563 kt → 2638.0468066469 ft/s

We conclude that 1563 knots is equivalent to 2638.0468066469 feet per second:

1563 knots = 2638.0468066469 feet per second
