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 2516 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2516 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

2516 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2516 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1490.6892440618 kt

The final result is:

2516 ft/s → 1490.6892440618 kt

We conclude that 2516 feet per second is equivalent to 1490.6892440618 knots:

2516 feet per second = 1490.6892440618 knots

Alternative conversion
