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 139.3 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 139.3 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

139.3 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 139.3 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 82.53299352059 kt

The final result is:

139.3 ft/s → 82.53299352059 kt

We conclude that 139.3 feet per second is equivalent to 82.53299352059 knots:

139.3 feet per second = 82.53299352059 knots

Alternative conversion
