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 1707 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1707 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

1707 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1707 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2881.0914260693 ft/s

The final result is:

1707 kt → 2881.0914260693 ft/s

We conclude that 1707 knots is equivalent to 2881.0914260693 feet per second:

1707 knots = 2881.0914260693 feet per second

Alternative conversion
