Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 851 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 851 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

851 ft/s → V(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V(kt) = 851 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 504.20371490324 kt

The final result is:

851 ft/s → 504.20371490324 kt

We conclude that 851 feet per second is equivalent to 504.20371490324 knots:
