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 1039.7 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1039.7 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

1039.7 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1039.7 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1754.8159084266 ft/s

The final result is:

1039.7 kt → 1754.8159084266 ft/s

We conclude that 1039.7 knots is equivalent to 1754.8159084266 feet per second:

1039.7 knots = 1754.8159084266 feet per second

Alternative conversion
