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 2479 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2479 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

2479 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2479 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4184.0806357502 ft/s

The final result is:

2479 kt → 4184.0806357502 ft/s

We conclude that 2479 knots is equivalent to 4184.0806357502 feet per second:
