Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 865 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 865 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

865 ft/s → V(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V(kt) = 865 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 512.49848812139 kt

The final result is:

865 ft/s → 512.49848812139 kt

We conclude that 865 feet per second is equivalent to 512.49848812139 knots:
