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 459 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 459 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

459 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 459 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 774.70472440878 ft/s

The final result is:

459 kt → 774.70472440878 ft/s

We conclude that 459 knots is equivalent to 774.70472440878 feet per second:

459 knots = 774.70472440878 feet per second
