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 1655 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1655 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

1655 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1655 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 980.56069114556 kt

The final result is:

1655 ft/s → 980.56069114556 kt

We conclude that 1655 feet per second is equivalent to 980.56069114556 knots:

1655 feet per second = 980.56069114556 knots

Alternative conversion
