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 2917 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2917 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

2917 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2917 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4923.3413531599 ft/s

The final result is:

2917 kt → 4923.3413531599 ft/s

We conclude that 2917 knots is equivalent to 4923.3413531599 feet per second:

2917 knots = 4923.3413531599 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 0.00020311409026274 × 2917 knots.

Another way is saying that 2917 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00020311409026274 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

2917 kt ≅ 4923.341 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times two thousand nine hundred seventeen knots.
