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 759 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 759 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

759 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 759 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1281.0476815387 ft/s

The final result is:

759 kt → 1281.0476815387 ft/s

We conclude that 759 knots is equivalent to 1281.0476815387 feet per second:

759 knots = 1281.0476815387 feet per second
