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 596 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 596 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

596 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 596 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1005.9346748314 ft/s

The final result is:

596 kt → 1005.9346748314 ft/s

We conclude that 596 knots is equivalent to 1005.9346748314 feet per second:

596 knots = 1005.9346748314 feet per second

Alternative conversion
