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 99.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 99.9 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

99.9 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 99.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 168.61220472426 ft/s

The final result is:

99.9 kt → 168.61220472426 ft/s

We conclude that 99.9 knots is equivalent to 168.61220472426 feet per second:

99.9 knots = 168.61220472426 feet per second

Alternative conversion
