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 617.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 617.9 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

617.9 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 617.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1042.8977107019 ft/s

The final result is:

617.9 kt → 1042.8977107019 ft/s

We conclude that 617.9 knots is equivalent to 1042.8977107019 feet per second:

617.9 knots = 1042.8977107019 feet per second

Alternative conversion
