Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 590 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 590 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

590 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 590 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 349.56544276488 kt

The final result is:

590 ft/s → 349.56544276488 kt

We conclude that 590 feet per second is equivalent to 349.56544276488 knots:

590 feet per second = 349.56544276488 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0028606946730504 × 590 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 590 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0028606946730504 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred ninety feet per second is approximately three hundred forty-nine point five six five knots:

590 ft/s ≅ 349.565 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times five hundred ninety feet per second.
