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 990 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 990 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
990 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 990 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 586.55896328344 kt
The final result is:
990 ft/s → 586.55896328344 kt
We conclude that 990 feet per second is equivalent to 586.55896328344 knots:
990 feet per second = 586.55896328344 knots
