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 949 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 949 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

949 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 949 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1601.7315543877 ft/s

The final result is:

949 kt → 1601.7315543877 ft/s

We conclude that 949 knots is equivalent to 1601.7315543877 feet per second:

949 knots = 1601.7315543877 feet per second

Alternative conversion
