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 2148 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2148 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

2148 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2148 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1272.6552051847 kt

The final result is:

2148 ft/s → 1272.6552051847 kt

We conclude that 2148 feet per second is equivalent to 1272.6552051847 knots:

2148 feet per second = 1272.6552051847 knots

Alternative conversion
