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 390 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 390 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

390 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 390 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 658.2458442689 ft/s

The final result is:

390 kt → 658.2458442689 ft/s

We conclude that 390 knots is equivalent to 658.2458442689 feet per second:

390 knots = 658.2458442689 feet per second
