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 1549 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1549 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

1549 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1549 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 917.75740820814 kt

The final result is:

1549 ft/s → 917.75740820814 kt

We conclude that 1549 feet per second is equivalent to 917.75740820814 knots:

1549 feet per second = 917.75740820814 knots

Alternative conversion
