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 2518 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2518 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

2518 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2518 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1491.8742116644 kt

The final result is:

2518 ft/s → 1491.8742116644 kt

We conclude that 2518 feet per second is equivalent to 1491.8742116644 knots:

2518 feet per second = 1491.8742116644 knots

Alternative conversion
