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 71.7 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 71.7 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

71.7 kt → V(ft/s)

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

V(ft/s) = 71.7 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 121.01596675405 ft/s

The final result is:

71.7 kt → 121.01596675405 ft/s

We conclude that 71.7 knots is equivalent to 121.01596675405 feet per second:
