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 649 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 649 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

649 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 649 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1095.3885972577 ft/s

The final result is:

649 kt → 1095.3885972577 ft/s

We conclude that 649 knots is equivalent to 1095.3885972577 feet per second:
