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 2080 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2080 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

2080 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2080 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3510.6445027675 ft/s

The final result is:

2080 kt → 3510.6445027675 ft/s

We conclude that 2080 knots is equivalent to 3510.6445027675 feet per second:

2080 knots = 3510.6445027675 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 0.0002848479813925 × 2080 knots.

Another way is saying that 2080 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0002848479813925 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two thousand eighty knots is approximately three thousand five hundred ten point six four five feet per second:

2080 kt ≅ 3510.645 ft/s

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