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 2579 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2579 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

2579 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2579 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1528.0157235434 kt

The final result is:

2579 ft/s → 1528.0157235434 kt

We conclude that 2579 feet per second is equivalent to 1528.0157235434 knots:

2579 feet per second = 1528.0157235434 knots

Alternative conversion
