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 791 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 791 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

791 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 791 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1335.0575969659 ft/s

The final result is:

791 kt → 1335.0575969659 ft/s

We conclude that 791 knots is equivalent to 1335.0575969659 feet per second:
