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 721.5 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 721.5 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

721.5 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 721.5 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1217.7548118975 ft/s

The final result is:

721.5 kt → 1217.7548118975 ft/s

We conclude that 721.5 knots is equivalent to 1217.7548118975 feet per second:

721.5 knots = 1217.7548118975 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 0.00082118336978019 × 721.5 knots.

Another way is saying that 721.5 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00082118336978019 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 twenty-one point five knots is approximately one thousand two hundred seventeen point seven five five feet per second:

721.5 kt ≅ 1217.755 ft/s

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