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 1617 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1617 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

1617 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 1617 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2729.1885389303 ft/s

The final result is:

1617 kt → 2729.1885389303 ft/s

We conclude that 1617 knots is equivalent to 2729.1885389303 feet per second:

1617 knots = 2729.1885389303 feet per second

Alternative conversion
