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 1800 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1800 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

1800 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1800 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3038.0577427795 ft/s

The final result is:

1800 kt → 3038.0577427795 ft/s

We conclude that 1800 knots is equivalent to 3038.0577427795 feet per second:

1800 knots = 3038.0577427795 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00032915766738689 × 1800 knots.

Another way is saying that 1800 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00032915766738689 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand eight hundred knots is approximately three thousand thirty-eight point zero five eight feet per second:

1800 kt ≅ 3038.058 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times one thousand eight hundred knots.
