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 1721 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1721 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

1721 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1721 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2904.7207640686 ft/s

The final result is:

1721 kt → 2904.7207640686 ft/s

We conclude that 1721 knots is equivalent to 2904.7207640686 feet per second:

1721 knots = 2904.7207640686 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00034426717100314 × 1721 knots.

Another way is saying that 1721 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00034426717100314 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand seven hundred twenty-one knots is approximately two thousand nine hundred four point seven two one feet per second:

1721 kt ≅ 2904.721 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times one thousand seven hundred twenty-one knots.
