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 899 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 899 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

899 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 899 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1517.3410615327 ft/s

The final result is:

899 kt → 1517.3410615327 ft/s

We conclude that 899 knots is equivalent to 1517.3410615327 feet per second:
