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 1966 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1966 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

1966 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1966 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3318.2341790581 ft/s

The final result is:

1966 kt → 3318.2341790581 ft/s

We conclude that 1966 knots is equivalent to 3318.2341790581 feet per second:

1966 knots = 3318.2341790581 feet per second

Alternative conversion
