The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 939.8 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 939.8 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

939.8 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 939.8 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 556.81627645836 kt

The final result is:

939.8 ft/s → 556.81627645836 kt

We conclude that 939.8 feet per second is equivalent to 556.81627645836 knots:

939.8 feet per second = 556.81627645836 knots
