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 977.8 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 977.8 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

977.8 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 977.8 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 579.33066090763 kt

The final result is:

977.8 ft/s → 579.33066090763 kt

We conclude that 977.8 feet per second is equivalent to 579.33066090763 knots:

977.8 feet per second = 579.33066090763 knots
