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 349 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 349 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

349 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 349 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 589.04564012781 ft/s

The final result is:

349 kt → 589.04564012781 ft/s

We conclude that 349 knots is equivalent to 589.04564012781 feet per second:

349 knots = 589.04564012781 feet per second

Alternative conversion

Another way is saying that 349 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0016976613217662 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three hundred forty-nine knots is approximately five hundred eighty-nine point zero four six feet per second:

349 kt ≅ 589.046 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times three hundred forty-nine knots.
