Conversion formula
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 979 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 979 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
979 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 979 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 580.04164146918 kt
The final result is:
979 ft/s → 580.04164146918 kt
We conclude that 979 feet per second is equivalent to 580.04164146918 knots:
979 feet per second = 580.04164146918 knots
Alternative conversion
