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 1716 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1716 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

1716 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1716 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2896.2817147831 ft/s

The final result is:

1716 kt → 2896.2817147831 ft/s

We conclude that 1716 knots is equivalent to 2896.2817147831 feet per second:
