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 853 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 853 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

853 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 853 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1439.7018081061 ft/s

The final result is:

853 kt → 1439.7018081061 ft/s

We conclude that 853 knots is equivalent to 1439.7018081061 feet per second:

853 knots = 1439.7018081061 feet per second
