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 846 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 846 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

846 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 846 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1427.8871391064 ft/s

The final result is:

846 kt → 1427.8871391064 ft/s

We conclude that 846 knots is equivalent to 1427.8871391064 feet per second:

846 knots = 1427.8871391064 feet per second

Alternative conversion
