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 856.5 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 856.5 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

856.5 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 856.5 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1445.6091426059 ft/s

The final result is:

856.5 kt → 1445.6091426059 ft/s

We conclude that 856.5 knots is equivalent to 1445.6091426059 feet per second:

856.5 knots = 1445.6091426059 feet per second

Alternative conversion
