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 2590 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2590 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

2590 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2590 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1534.5330453577 kt

The final result is:

2590 ft/s → 1534.5330453577 kt

We conclude that 2590 feet per second is equivalent to 1534.5330453577 knots:

2590 feet per second = 1534.5330453577 knots

Alternative conversion
