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 1917 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1917 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

1917 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1917 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3235.5314960602 ft/s

The final result is:

1917 kt → 3235.5314960602 ft/s

We conclude that 1917 knots is equivalent to 3235.5314960602 feet per second:

1917 knots = 3235.5314960602 feet per second

Alternative conversion
