Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 2717 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2717 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

2717 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 2717 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1609.7784881223 kt

The final result is:

2717 ft/s → 1609.7784881223 kt

We conclude that 2717 feet per second is equivalent to 1609.7784881223 knots:

2717 feet per second = 1609.7784881223 knots

Alternative conversion
