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 700 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 700 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

700 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 700 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1181.4668999698 ft/s

The final result is:

700 kt → 1181.4668999698 ft/s

We conclude that 700 knots is equivalent to 1181.4668999698 feet per second:

700 knots = 1181.4668999698 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00084640543042344 × 700 knots.

Another way is saying that 700 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00084640543042344 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred knots is approximately one thousand one hundred eighty-one point four six seven feet per second:

700 kt ≅ 1181.467 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times seven hundred knots.
