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 705 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 705 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

705 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 705 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1189.9059492553 ft/s

The final result is:

705 kt → 1189.9059492553 ft/s

We conclude that 705 knots is equivalent to 1189.9059492553 feet per second:

705 knots = 1189.9059492553 feet per second

Alternative conversion
