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 1746 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1746 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

1746 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1746 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2946.9160104961 ft/s

The final result is:

1746 kt → 2946.9160104961 ft/s

We conclude that 1746 knots is equivalent to 2946.9160104961 feet per second:

1746 knots = 2946.9160104961 feet per second

Alternative conversion
