Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1997 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1997 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

1997 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1997 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1183.1901511889 kt

The final result is:

1997 ft/s → 1183.1901511889 kt

We conclude that 1997 feet per second is equivalent to 1183.1901511889 knots:

1997 feet per second = 1183.1901511889 knots

Alternative conversion
