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 970 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 970 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

970 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 970 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1637.1755613867 ft/s

The final result is:

970 kt → 1637.1755613867 ft/s

We conclude that 970 knots is equivalent to 1637.1755613867 feet per second:

970 knots = 1637.1755613867 feet per second
