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 678 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 678 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

678 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 678 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1144.3350831136 ft/s

The final result is:

678 kt → 1144.3350831136 ft/s

We conclude that 678 knots is equivalent to 1144.3350831136 feet per second:

678 knots = 1144.3350831136 feet per second
