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 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1039 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 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1039 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1753.6344415266 ft/s

The final result is:

1039 kt → 1753.6344415266 ft/s

We conclude that 1039 knots is equivalent to 1753.6344415266 feet per second:

1039 knots = 1753.6344415266 feet per second

Alternative conversion
