Convert 71 kts. to feet per second (fps or ft./sec.)

To convert 71 knots (kts) to feet per second (ft/sec), follow these steps:

1. **Convert knots to feet per hour:**
   \[
   1 \text{ knot} = 6076.12 \text{ feet per hour}
   \]
   So,
   \[
   71 \text{ knots} = 71 \times 6076.12 \text{ feet per hour} = 431404.52 \text{ feet per hour}
   \]

2. **Convert feet per hour to feet per second:**
   \[
   1 \text{ hour} = 3600 \text{ seconds}
   \]
   So,
   \[
   431404.52 \text{ feet per hour} \div 3600 = 119.84 \text{ feet per second}
   \]

Therefore, 71 knots is equivalent to approximately **119.84 feet per second**.
