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 1029.4 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1029.4 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

1029.4 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1029.4 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1737.4314668985 ft/s

The final result is:

1029.4 kt → 1737.4314668985 ft/s

We conclude that 1029.4 knots is equivalent to 1737.4314668985 feet per second:

1029.4 knots = 1737.4314668985 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00057556227054246 × 1029.4 knots.

Another way is saying that 1029.4 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00057556227054246 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand twenty-nine point four knots is approximately one thousand seven hundred thirty-seven point four three one feet per second:

1029.4 kt ≅ 1737.431 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand twenty-nine point four knots.
