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 599 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 599 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

599 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 599 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1010.9981044027 ft/s

The final result is:

599 kt → 1010.9981044027 ft/s

We conclude that 599 knots is equivalent to 1010.9981044027 feet per second:

599 knots = 1010.9981044027 feet per second
