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 969 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 969 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

969 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 969 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1635.4877515296 ft/s

The final result is:

969 kt → 1635.4877515296 ft/s

We conclude that 969 knots is equivalent to 1635.4877515296 feet per second:
