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 2687 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2687 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

2687 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2687 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1592.0039740834 kt

The final result is:

2687 ft/s → 1592.0039740834 kt

We conclude that 2687 feet per second is equivalent to 1592.0039740834 knots:

2687 feet per second = 1592.0039740834 knots
