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 1616 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1616 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

1616 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1616 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2727.5007290732 ft/s

The final result is:

1616 kt → 2727.5007290732 ft/s

We conclude that 1616 knots is equivalent to 2727.5007290732 feet per second:

1616 knots = 2727.5007290732 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 0.00036663601565372 × 1616 knots.

Another way is saying that 1616 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00036663601565372 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 sixteen knots is approximately two thousand seven hundred twenty-seven point five zero one feet per second:

1616 kt ≅ 2727.501 ft/s

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