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 1714 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1714 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

1714 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1714 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2892.9060950689 ft/s

The final result is:

1714 kt → 2892.9060950689 ft/s

We conclude that 1714 knots is equivalent to 2892.9060950689 feet per second:
