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 1980 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1980 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

1980 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1980 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3341.8635170575 ft/s

The final result is:

1980 kt → 3341.8635170575 ft/s

We conclude that 1980 knots is equivalent to 3341.8635170575 feet per second:

1980 knots = 3341.8635170575 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 0.00029923424307899 × 1980 knots.

Another way is saying that 1980 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00029923424307899 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 nine hundred eighty knots is approximately three thousand three hundred forty-one point eight six four feet per second:

1980 kt ≅ 3341.864 ft/s

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