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 848 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 848 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

848 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 848 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1431.2627588206 ft/s

The final result is:

848 kt → 1431.2627588206 ft/s

We conclude that 848 knots is equivalent to 1431.2627588206 feet per second:

848 knots = 1431.2627588206 feet per second

Alternative conversion
