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 820 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 820 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

820 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 820 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1384.0040828218 ft/s

The final result is:

820 kt → 1384.0040828218 ft/s

We conclude that 820 knots is equivalent to 1384.0040828218 feet per second:

820 knots = 1384.0040828218 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00072254122109318 × 820 knots.

Another way is saying that 820 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00072254122109318 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred twenty knots is approximately one thousand three hundred eighty-four point zero zero four feet per second:

820 kt ≅ 1384.004 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times eight hundred twenty knots.
