Conversion from Knots to Miles per Hour

Introduction to Knots to Miles per Hour Conversion

This tool converts the speed from knots to miles per hour. A knot is a unit of speed commonly used in nautical and aviation contexts, defined as one nautical mile per hour. One mile per hour is equivalent to 1.15077945 knots. This conversion is useful for navigators, pilots, and anyone interested in understanding speeds in different units.

Parameter usage:

• knots = speed in knots

Example valid values:

• 5 = 5 knots
• 10 = 10 knots

Output:

• The converted speed in miles per hour.

Data validation

The number of knots must not be negative, as negative speeds are not physically meaningful in this context.

Summary

This calculator helps with the conversion of speeds from knots to miles per hour, useful across various fields such as nautical navigation and aviation.
