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 1317 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1317 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

1317 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1317 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 780.30116630737 kt

The final result is:

1317 ft/s → 780.30116630737 kt

We conclude that 1317 feet per second is equivalent to 780.30116630737 knots:

1317 feet per second = 780.30116630737 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0012815564594531 × 1317 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1317 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0012815564594531 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand three hundred seventeen feet per second is approximately seven hundred eighty point three zero one knots:

1317 ft/s ≅ 780.301 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand three hundred seventeen feet per second.
