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 1880 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1880 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

1880 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1880 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3173.0825313475 ft/s

The final result is:

1880 kt → 3173.0825313475 ft/s

We conclude that 1880 knots is equivalent to 3173.0825313475 feet per second:

1880 knots = 3173.0825313475 feet per second

Alternative conversion
