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 179 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 179 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

179 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 179 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 302.11796442085 ft/s

The final result is:

179 kt → 302.11796442085 ft/s

We conclude that 179 knots is equivalent to 302.11796442085 feet per second:

179 knots = 302.11796442085 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.003309965370371 × 179 knots.

Another way is saying that 179 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.003309965370371 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred seventy-nine knots is approximately three hundred two point one one eight feet per second:

179 kt ≅ 302.118 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero three times one hundred seventy-nine knots.
