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 1778 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1778 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

1778 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1778 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1053.436198705 kt

The final result is:

1778 ft/s → 1053.436198705 kt

We conclude that 1778 feet per second is equivalent to 1053.436198705 knots:

1778 feet per second = 1053.436198705 knots

Alternative conversion
