Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 717.9 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 717.9 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

717.9 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 717.9 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 425.34412095069 kt

The final result is:

717.9 ft/s → 425.34412095069 kt

We conclude that 717.9 feet per second is equivalent to 425.34412095069 knots:

717.9 feet per second = 425.34412095069 knots

Alternative conversion
