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 763 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 763 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

763 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 763 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1287.7989209671 ft/s

The final result is:

763 kt → 1287.7989209671 ft/s

We conclude that 763 knots is equivalent to 1287.7989209671 feet per second:
