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 2979 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2979 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

2979 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2979 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1765.009244062 kt

The final result is:

2979 ft/s → 1765.009244062 kt

We conclude that 2979 feet per second is equivalent to 1765.009244062 knots:

2979 feet per second = 1765.009244062 knots

Alternative conversion
