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 823 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 823 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

823 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 823 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1389.0675123931 ft/s

The final result is:

823 kt → 1389.0675123931 ft/s

We conclude that 823 knots is equivalent to 1389.0675123931 feet per second:

823 knots = 1389.0675123931 feet per second

Alternative conversion
