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 855 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 855 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

855 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 855 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1443.0774278203 ft/s

The final result is:

855 kt → 1443.0774278203 ft/s

We conclude that 855 knots is equivalent to 1443.0774278203 feet per second:

855 knots = 1443.0774278203 feet per second
