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 7079 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 7079 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

7079 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 7079 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 11948.005978409 ft/s

The final result is:

7079 kt → 11948.005978409 ft/s

We conclude that 7079 knots is equivalent to 11948.005978409 feet per second:

7079 knots = 11948.005978409 feet per second
