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 1439 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1439 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

1439 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1439 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2428.7583843665 ft/s

The final result is:

1439 kt → 2428.7583843665 ft/s

We conclude that 1439 knots is equivalent to 2428.7583843665 feet per second:

1439 knots = 2428.7583843665 feet per second
