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 917 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 917 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

917 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 917 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1547.7216389605 ft/s

The final result is:

917 kt → 1547.7216389605 ft/s

We conclude that 917 knots is equivalent to 1547.7216389605 feet per second:

917 knots = 1547.7216389605 feet per second
