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 866 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 866 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

866 ft/s → V(kt)

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

V(kt) = 866 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 513.09097192269 kt

The final result is:

866 ft/s → 513.09097192269 kt

We conclude that 866 feet per second is equivalent to 513.09097192269 knots:
