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 479 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 479 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

479 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 479 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 808.46092155077 ft/s

The final result is:

479 kt → 808.46092155077 ft/s

We conclude that 479 knots is equivalent to 808.46092155077 feet per second:

479 knots = 808.46092155077 feet per second

Alternative conversion
