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 86 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 86 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

86 kt → V(ft/s)

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

V(ft/s) = 86 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 145.15164771058 ft/s

The final result is:

86 kt → 145.15164771058 ft/s

We conclude that 86 knots is equivalent to 145.15164771058 feet per second:

86 knots = 145.15164771058 feet per second
