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 4517 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4517 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

4517 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4517 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7623.8371245195 ft/s

The final result is:

4517 kt → 7623.8371245195 ft/s

We conclude that 4517 knots is equivalent to 7623.8371245195 feet per second:

4517 knots = 7623.8371245195 feet per second

Alternative conversion
