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 1664 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1664 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

1664 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1664 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 985.89304535722 kt

The final result is:

1664 ft/s → 985.89304535722 kt

We conclude that 1664 feet per second is equivalent to 985.89304535722 knots:

1664 feet per second = 985.89304535722 knots

Alternative conversion
