Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 29.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 29.9 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

29.9 kt → V(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V(ft/s) = 29.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 50.465514727282 ft/s

The final result is:

29.9 kt → 50.465514727282 ft/s

We conclude that 29.9 knots is equivalent to 50.465514727282 feet per second:
