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 999 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 999 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

999 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 999 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1686.1220472426 ft/s

The final result is:

999 kt → 1686.1220472426 ft/s

We conclude that 999 knots is equivalent to 1686.1220472426 feet per second:
