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 729.6 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 729.6 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

729.6 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 729.6 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1231.42607174 ft/s

The final result is:

729.6 kt → 1231.42607174 ft/s

We conclude that 729.6 knots is equivalent to 1231.42607174 feet per second:

729.6 knots = 1231.42607174 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00081206661361898 × 729.6 knots.

Another way is saying that 729.6 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00081206661361898 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred twenty-nine point six knots is approximately one thousand two hundred thirty-one point four two six feet per second:

729.6 kt ≅ 1231.426 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times seven hundred twenty-nine point six knots.
