Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1039 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1039 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

1039 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1039 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 615.59066954697 kt

The final result is:

1039 ft/s → 615.59066954697 kt

We conclude that 1039 feet per second is equivalent to 615.59066954697 knots:

1039 feet per second = 615.59066954697 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0016244560703559 × 1039 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1039 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0016244560703559 knots.

Approximate result

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

1039 ft/s ≅ 615.591 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand thirty-nine feet per second.
