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 499 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 499 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

499 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 499 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 842.21711869277 ft/s

The final result is:

499 kt → 842.21711869277 ft/s

We conclude that 499 knots is equivalent to 842.21711869277 feet per second:
