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 1490 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1490 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

1490 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1490 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 882.80086393165 kt

The final result is:

1490 ft/s → 882.80086393165 kt

We conclude that 1490 feet per second is equivalent to 882.80086393165 knots:

1490 feet per second = 882.80086393165 knots

Alternative conversion
