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 854.7 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 854.7 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

854.7 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 854.7 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1442.5710848631 ft/s

The final result is:

854.7 kt → 1442.5710848631 ft/s

We conclude that 854.7 knots is equivalent to 1442.5710848631 feet per second:

854.7 knots = 1442.5710848631 feet per second
