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 893 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 893 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

893 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 893 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1507.2142023901 ft/s

The final result is:

893 kt → 1507.2142023901 ft/s

We conclude that 893 knots is equivalent to 1507.2142023901 feet per second:

893 knots = 1507.2142023901 feet per second
