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 1550 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1550 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
1550 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 1550 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 2616.1052785046 ft/s
The final result is:
1550 kt → 2616.1052785046 ft/s
We conclude that 1550 knots is equivalent to 2616.1052785046 feet per second:
