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 517 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 517 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
517 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 517 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 872.59769612056 ft/s
The final result is:
517 kt → 872.59769612056 ft/s
We conclude that 517 knots is equivalent to 872.59769612056 feet per second:
517 knots = 872.59769612056 feet per second
Alternative conversion
