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 1059.8 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1059.8 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

1059.8 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1059.8 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1788.7408865543 ft/s

The final result is:

1059.8 kt → 1788.7408865543 ft/s

We conclude that 1059.8 knots is equivalent to 1788.7408865543 feet per second:
