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 1259 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1259 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

1259 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1259 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 745.93710583218 kt

The final result is:

1259 ft/s → 745.93710583218 kt

We conclude that 1259 feet per second is equivalent to 745.93710583218 knots:

1259 feet per second = 745.93710583218 knots
