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 699 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 699 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

699 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 699 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1179.7790901127 ft/s

The final result is:

699 kt → 1179.7790901127 ft/s

We conclude that 699 knots is equivalent to 1179.7790901127 feet per second:
