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 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1049 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 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1049 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 621.51550755993 kt

The final result is:

1049 ft/s → 621.51550755993 kt

We conclude that 1049 feet per second is equivalent to 621.51550755993 knots:

1049 feet per second = 621.51550755993 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0016089703118205 × 1049 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1049 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0016089703118205 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 feet per second is approximately six hundred twenty-one point five one six knots:

1049 ft/s ≅ 621.516 kt

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