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 2489 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2489 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

2489 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2489 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1474.6921814268 kt

The final result is:

2489 ft/s → 1474.6921814268 kt

We conclude that 2489 feet per second is equivalent to 1474.6921814268 knots:

2489 feet per second = 1474.6921814268 knots
