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 1701 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1701 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

1701 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1701 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2870.9645669267 ft/s

The final result is:

1701 kt → 2870.9645669267 ft/s

We conclude that 1701 knots is equivalent to 2870.9645669267 feet per second:

1701 knots = 2870.9645669267 feet per second

Alternative conversion
