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 780 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 780 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

780 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 780 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1316.4916885378 ft/s

The final result is:

780 kt → 1316.4916885378 ft/s

We conclude that 780 knots is equivalent to 1316.4916885378 feet per second:

780 knots = 1316.4916885378 feet per second

Alternative conversion
