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 259 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 259 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
259 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 259 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 153.45330453577 kt
The final result is:
259 ft/s → 153.45330453577 kt
We conclude that 259 feet per second is equivalent to 153.45330453577 knots:
259 feet per second = 153.45330453577 knots
Alternative conversion
