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 829 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 829 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

829 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 829 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1399.1943715357 ft/s

The final result is:

829 kt → 1399.1943715357 ft/s

We conclude that 829 knots is equivalent to 1399.1943715357 feet per second:

829 knots = 1399.1943715357 feet per second
