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 862 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 862 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

862 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 862 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1454.89209682 ft/s

The final result is:

862 kt → 1454.89209682 ft/s

We conclude that 862 knots is equivalent to 1454.89209682 feet per second:

862 knots = 1454.89209682 feet per second
