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 817 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 817 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

817 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 817 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1378.9406532505 ft/s

The final result is:

817 kt → 1378.9406532505 ft/s

We conclude that 817 knots is equivalent to 1378.9406532505 feet per second:

817 knots = 1378.9406532505 feet per second

Alternative conversion
