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 679 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 679 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

679 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 679 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1146.0228929707 ft/s

The final result is:

679 kt → 1146.0228929707 ft/s

We conclude that 679 knots is equivalent to 1146.0228929707 feet per second:

679 knots = 1146.0228929707 feet per second
