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 1049.9 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1049.9 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

1049.9 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1049.9 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 622.0487429811 kt

The final result is:

1049.9 ft/s → 622.0487429811 kt

We conclude that 1049.9 feet per second is equivalent to 622.0487429811 knots:

1049.9 feet per second = 622.0487429811 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0016075910630534 × 1049.9 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1049.9 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0016075910630534 knots.

Approximate result

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

1049.9 ft/s ≅ 622.049 kt

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