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 1659 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1659 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

1659 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1659 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 2800.0765529285 ft/s

The final result is:

1659 kt → 2800.0765529285 ft/s

We conclude that 1659 knots is equivalent to 2800.0765529285 feet per second:

1659 knots = 2800.0765529285 feet per second
