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 1017 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1017 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
1017 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 1017 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 1716.5026246704 ft/s
The final result is:
1017 kt → 1716.5026246704 ft/s
We conclude that 1017 knots is equivalent to 1716.5026246704 feet per second:
1017 knots = 1716.5026246704 feet per second
Alternative conversion
