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 653 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 653 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

653 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 653 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1102.1398366861 ft/s

The final result is:

653 kt → 1102.1398366861 ft/s

We conclude that 653 knots is equivalent to 1102.1398366861 feet per second:

653 knots = 1102.1398366861 feet per second

Alternative conversion
