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 744 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 744 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

744 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 744 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1255.7305336822 ft/s

The final result is:

744 kt → 1255.7305336822 ft/s

We conclude that 744 knots is equivalent to 1255.7305336822 feet per second:

744 knots = 1255.7305336822 feet per second

Alternative conversion
