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 1648 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1648 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

1648 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1648 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2781.5106445004 ft/s

The final result is:

1648 kt → 2781.5106445004 ft/s

We conclude that 1648 knots is equivalent to 2781.5106445004 feet per second:

1648 knots = 2781.5106445004 feet per second
