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 2079 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2079 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

2079 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2079 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3508.9566929104 ft/s

The final result is:

2079 kt → 3508.9566929104 ft/s

We conclude that 2079 knots is equivalent to 3508.9566929104 feet per second:

2079 knots = 3508.9566929104 feet per second
