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 790 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 790 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

790 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 790 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1333.3697871088 ft/s

The final result is:

790 kt → 1333.3697871088 ft/s

We conclude that 790 knots is equivalent to 1333.3697871088 feet per second:

790 knots = 1333.3697871088 feet per second
