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 1079 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1079 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
1079 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 1079 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 639.29002159882 kt
The final result is:
1079 ft/s → 639.29002159882 kt
We conclude that 1079 feet per second is equivalent to 639.29002159882 knots:
1079 feet per second = 639.29002159882 knots
