Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 648 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 648 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

648 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 648 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1093.7007874006 ft/s

The final result is:

648 kt → 1093.7007874006 ft/s

We conclude that 648 knots is equivalent to 1093.7007874006 feet per second:

648 knots = 1093.7007874006 feet per second

Alternative conversion
