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 1711 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1711 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

1711 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1711 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2887.8426654977 ft/s

The final result is:

1711 kt → 2887.8426654977 ft/s

We conclude that 1711 knots is equivalent to 2887.8426654977 feet per second:
