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 851 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 851 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

851 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 851 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1436.3261883919 ft/s

The final result is:

851 kt → 1436.3261883919 ft/s

We conclude that 851 knots is equivalent to 1436.3261883919 feet per second:

851 knots = 1436.3261883919 feet per second
