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 1159 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1159 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

1159 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1159 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 686.68872570254 kt

The final result is:

1159 ft/s → 686.68872570254 kt

We conclude that 1159 feet per second is equivalent to 686.68872570254 knots:

1159 feet per second = 686.68872570254 knots
