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 997 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 997 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
997 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 997 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 590.70634989252 kt
The final result is:
997 ft/s → 590.70634989252 kt
We conclude that 997 feet per second is equivalent to 590.70634989252 knots:
997 feet per second = 590.70634989252 knots
