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 953 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 953 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

953 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 953 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1608.482793816 ft/s

The final result is:

953 kt → 1608.482793816 ft/s

We conclude that 953 knots is equivalent to 1608.482793816 feet per second:

953 knots = 1608.482793816 feet per second

Alternative conversion
