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 1709 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1709 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

1709 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1709 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1012.5548164156 kt

The final result is:

1709 ft/s → 1012.5548164156 kt

We conclude that 1709 feet per second is equivalent to 1012.5548164156 knots:

1709 feet per second = 1012.5548164156 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00098760085260371 × 1709 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1709 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00098760085260371 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand seven hundred nine feet per second is approximately one thousand twelve point five five five knots:

1709 ft/s ≅ 1012.555 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand seven hundred nine feet per second.
