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 2790 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2790 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

2790 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2790 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1653.029805617 kt

The final result is:

2790 ft/s → 1653.029805617 kt

We conclude that 2790 feet per second is equivalent to 1653.029805617 knots:

2790 feet per second = 1653.029805617 knots

Alternative conversion
