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 2717 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2717 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

2717 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2717 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4585.77938174 ft/s

The final result is:

2717 kt → 4585.77938174 ft/s

We conclude that 2717 knots is equivalent to 4585.77938174 feet per second:

2717 knots = 4585.77938174 feet per second
