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 1971 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1971 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

1971 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1971 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3326.6732283436 ft/s

The final result is:

1971 kt → 3326.6732283436 ft/s

We conclude that 1971 knots is equivalent to 3326.6732283436 feet per second:

1971 knots = 3326.6732283436 feet per second

Alternative conversion
