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 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 729 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 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 729 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1230.4133858257 ft/s

The final result is:

729 kt → 1230.4133858257 ft/s

We conclude that 729 knots is equivalent to 1230.4133858257 feet per second:

729 knots = 1230.4133858257 feet per second

Alternative conversion
