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 429 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 429 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

429 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 429 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 724.07042869579 ft/s

The final result is:

429 kt → 724.07042869579 ft/s

We conclude that 429 knots is equivalent to 724.07042869579 feet per second:

429 knots = 724.07042869579 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.001381081121903 × 429 knots.

Another way is saying that 429 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.001381081121903 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

429 kt ≅ 724.07 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times four hundred twenty-nine knots.
