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 864 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 864 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

864 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 864 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1458.2677165342 ft/s

The final result is:

864 kt → 1458.2677165342 ft/s

We conclude that 864 knots is equivalent to 1458.2677165342 feet per second:

864 knots = 1458.2677165342 feet per second
