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 1217 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1217 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

1217 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 1217 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 721.05278617773 kt

The final result is:

1217 ft/s → 721.05278617773 kt

We conclude that 1217 feet per second is equivalent to 721.05278617773 knots:
