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 1779 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1779 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

1779 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1779 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1054.0286825063 kt

The final result is:

1779 ft/s → 1054.0286825063 kt

We conclude that 1779 feet per second is equivalent to 1054.0286825063 knots:

1779 feet per second = 1054.0286825063 knots

Alternative conversion
