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 1656 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1656 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

1656 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1656 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2795.0131233572 ft/s

The final result is:

1656 kt → 2795.0131233572 ft/s

We conclude that 1656 knots is equivalent to 2795.0131233572 feet per second:
