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 1702 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1702 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

1702 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1702 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2872.6523767838 ft/s

The final result is:

1702 kt → 2872.6523767838 ft/s

We conclude that 1702 knots is equivalent to 2872.6523767838 feet per second:

1702 knots = 2872.6523767838 feet per second

Alternative conversion
