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 1637 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1637 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

1637 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1637 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 969.89598272222 kt

The final result is:

1637 ft/s → 969.89598272222 kt

We conclude that 1637 feet per second is equivalent to 969.89598272222 knots:

1637 feet per second = 969.89598272222 knots

Alternative conversion
