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 1229 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1229 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

1229 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1229 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2074.3183143756 ft/s

The final result is:

1229 kt → 2074.3183143756 ft/s

We conclude that 1229 knots is equivalent to 2074.3183143756 feet per second:

1229 knots = 2074.3183143756 feet per second

Alternative conversion
