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 1566 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1566 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

1566 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1566 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2643.1102362182 ft/s

The final result is:

1566 kt → 2643.1102362182 ft/s

We conclude that 1566 knots is equivalent to 2643.1102362182 feet per second:

1566 knots = 2643.1102362182 feet per second

Alternative conversion
