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 709.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 709.9 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

709.9 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 709.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1198.1762175551 ft/s

The final result is:

709.9 kt → 1198.1762175551 ft/s

We conclude that 709.9 knots is equivalent to 1198.1762175551 feet per second:

709.9 knots = 1198.1762175551 feet per second
