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 1600 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1600 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

1600 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1600 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2700.4957713596 ft/s

The final result is:

1600 kt → 2700.4957713596 ft/s

We conclude that 1600 knots is equivalent to 2700.4957713596 feet per second:

1600 knots = 2700.4957713596 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00037030237581026 × 1600 knots.

Another way is saying that 1600 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00037030237581026 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

1600 kt ≅ 2700.496 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times one thousand six hundred knots.
