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 999 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 999 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

999 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 999 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 591.89131749511 kt

The final result is:

999 ft/s → 591.89131749511 kt

We conclude that 999 feet per second is equivalent to 591.89131749511 knots:

999 feet per second = 591.89131749511 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0016894993564562 × 999 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 999 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0016894993564562 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine hundred ninety-nine feet per second is approximately five hundred ninety-one point eight nine one knots:

999 ft/s ≅ 591.891 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times nine hundred ninety-nine feet per second.
