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 656 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 656 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

656 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 656 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1107.2032662574 ft/s

The final result is:

656 kt → 1107.2032662574 ft/s

We conclude that 656 knots is equivalent to 1107.2032662574 feet per second:

656 knots = 1107.2032662574 feet per second
