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 1499 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1499 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

1499 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1499 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2530.0269757925 ft/s

The final result is:

1499 kt → 2530.0269757925 ft/s

We conclude that 1499 knots is equivalent to 2530.0269757925 feet per second:

1499 knots = 2530.0269757925 feet per second
