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 880 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 880 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

880 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 880 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1485.2726742478 ft/s

The final result is:

880 kt → 1485.2726742478 ft/s

We conclude that 880 knots is equivalent to 1485.2726742478 feet per second:

880 knots = 1485.2726742478 feet per second
