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 966 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 966 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

966 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 966 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1630.4243219583 ft/s

The final result is:

966 kt → 1630.4243219583 ft/s

We conclude that 966 knots is equivalent to 1630.4243219583 feet per second:

966 knots = 1630.4243219583 feet per second
