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 816 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 816 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

816 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 816 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1377.2528433934 ft/s

The final result is:

816 kt → 1377.2528433934 ft/s

We conclude that 816 knots is equivalent to 1377.2528433934 feet per second:

816 knots = 1377.2528433934 feet per second

Alternative conversion
