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 2511 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2511 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

2511 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2511 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1487.7268250553 kt

The final result is:

2511 ft/s → 1487.7268250553 kt

We conclude that 2511 feet per second is equivalent to 1487.7268250553 knots:

2511 feet per second = 1487.7268250553 knots

Alternative conversion
