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 993 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 993 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

993 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 993 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1675.9951881 ft/s

The final result is:

993 kt → 1675.9951881 ft/s

We conclude that 993 knots is equivalent to 1675.9951881 feet per second:

993 knots = 1675.9951881 feet per second
