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 1628 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1628 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

1628 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1628 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2747.7544473584 ft/s

The final result is:

1628 kt → 2747.7544473584 ft/s

We conclude that 1628 knots is equivalent to 2747.7544473584 feet per second:

1628 knots = 2747.7544473584 feet per second
