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 636 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 636 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

636 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 636 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1073.4470691154 ft/s

The final result is:

636 kt → 1073.4470691154 ft/s

We conclude that 636 knots is equivalent to 1073.4470691154 feet per second:

636 knots = 1073.4470691154 feet per second

Alternative conversion
