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 279 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 279 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
279 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 279 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 165.3029805617 kt
The final result is:
279 ft/s → 165.3029805617 kt
We conclude that 279 feet per second is equivalent to 165.3029805617 knots:
279 feet per second = 165.3029805617 knots
Alternative conversion
