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 959 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 959 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

959 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 959 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1618.6096529586 ft/s

The final result is:

959 kt → 1618.6096529586 ft/s

We conclude that 959 knots is equivalent to 1618.6096529586 feet per second:

959 knots = 1618.6096529586 feet per second
