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 896 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 896 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

896 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 896 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1512.2776319614 ft/s

The final result is:

896 kt → 1512.2776319614 ft/s

We conclude that 896 knots is equivalent to 1512.2776319614 feet per second:
