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 1047 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1047 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
1047 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 1047 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 1767.1369203834 ft/s
The final result is:
1047 kt → 1767.1369203834 ft/s
We conclude that 1047 knots is equivalent to 1767.1369203834 feet per second:
