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 1778 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1778 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

1778 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1778 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3000.9259259233 ft/s

The final result is:

1778 kt → 3000.9259259233 ft/s

We conclude that 1778 knots is equivalent to 3000.9259259233 feet per second:

1778 knots = 3000.9259259233 feet per second

Alternative conversion
