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 1706 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1706 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

1706 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1706 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2879.4036162122 ft/s

The final result is:

1706 kt → 2879.4036162122 ft/s

We conclude that 1706 knots is equivalent to 2879.4036162122 feet per second:

1706 knots = 2879.4036162122 feet per second

Alternative conversion
