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 765 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 765 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

765 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 765 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1291.1745406813 ft/s

The final result is:

765 kt → 1291.1745406813 ft/s

We conclude that 765 knots is equivalent to 1291.1745406813 feet per second:

765 knots = 1291.1745406813 feet per second
