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 449 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 449 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

449 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 449 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 757.82662583778 ft/s

The final result is:

449 kt → 757.82662583778 ft/s

We conclude that 449 knots is equivalent to 757.82662583778 feet per second:

449 knots = 757.82662583778 feet per second
