Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1627 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1627 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

1627 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1627 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 963.97114470926 kt

The final result is:

1627 ft/s → 963.97114470926 kt

We conclude that 1627 feet per second is equivalent to 963.97114470926 knots:

1627 feet per second = 963.97114470926 knots

Alternative conversion
