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 747 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 747 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

747 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 747 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1260.7939632535 ft/s

The final result is:

747 kt → 1260.7939632535 ft/s

We conclude that 747 knots is equivalent to 1260.7939632535 feet per second:

747 knots = 1260.7939632535 feet per second
