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 2079 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2079 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

2079 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2079 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1231.7738228952 kt

The final result is:

2079 ft/s → 1231.7738228952 kt

We conclude that 2079 feet per second is equivalent to 1231.7738228952 knots:

2079 feet per second = 1231.7738228952 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00081183735310233 × 2079 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 2079 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00081183735310233 knots.

Approximate result

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

2079 ft/s ≅ 1231.774 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times two thousand seventy-nine feet per second.
