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 739 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 739 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

739 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 739 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1247.2914843967 ft/s

The final result is:

739 kt → 1247.2914843967 ft/s

We conclude that 739 knots is equivalent to 1247.2914843967 feet per second:

739 knots = 1247.2914843967 feet per second
