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 359 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 359 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

359 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 359 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 605.92373869881 ft/s

The final result is:

359 kt → 605.92373869881 ft/s

We conclude that 359 knots is equivalent to 605.92373869881 feet per second:

359 knots = 605.92373869881 feet per second

Alternative conversion
