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 799 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 799 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

799 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 799 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1348.5600758227 ft/s

The final result is:

799 kt → 1348.5600758227 ft/s

We conclude that 799 knots is equivalent to 1348.5600758227 feet per second:
