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 1290 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1290 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

1290 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1290 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 764.30410367237 kt

The final result is:

1290 ft/s → 764.30410367237 kt

We conclude that 1290 feet per second is equivalent to 764.30410367237 knots:

1290 feet per second = 764.30410367237 knots

Alternative conversion
