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 586 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 586 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
586 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 586 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 989.05657626045 ft/s
The final result is:
586 kt → 989.05657626045 ft/s
We conclude that 586 knots is equivalent to 989.05657626045 feet per second:
