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 379 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 379 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

379 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 379 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 639.6799358408 ft/s

The final result is:

379 kt → 639.6799358408 ft/s

We conclude that 379 knots is equivalent to 639.6799358408 feet per second:

379 knots = 639.6799358408 feet per second

Alternative conversion
