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 881 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 881 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

881 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 881 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1486.9604841049 ft/s

The final result is:

881 kt → 1486.9604841049 ft/s

We conclude that 881 knots is equivalent to 1486.9604841049 feet per second:

881 knots = 1486.9604841049 feet per second
