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 717 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 717 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

717 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 717 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1210.1596675405 ft/s

The final result is:

717 kt → 1210.1596675405 ft/s

We conclude that 717 knots is equivalent to 1210.1596675405 feet per second:

717 knots = 1210.1596675405 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 0.00082633724030182 × 717 knots.

Another way is saying that 717 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00082633724030182 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 seventeen knots is approximately one thousand two hundred ten point one six feet per second:

717 kt ≅ 1210.16 ft/s

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