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 1708 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1708 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

1708 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1708 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2882.7792359264 ft/s

The final result is:

1708 kt → 2882.7792359264 ft/s

We conclude that 1708 knots is equivalent to 2882.7792359264 feet per second:

1708 knots = 2882.7792359264 feet per second

Alternative conversion
