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 900 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 900 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

900 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 900 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1519.0288713898 ft/s

The final result is:

900 kt → 1519.0288713898 ft/s

We conclude that 900 knots is equivalent to 1519.0288713898 feet per second:

900 knots = 1519.0288713898 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00065831533477379 × 900 knots.

Another way is saying that 900 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00065831533477379 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine hundred knots is approximately one thousand five hundred nineteen point zero two nine feet per second:

900 kt ≅ 1519.029 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times nine hundred knots.
