How to convert Speed of Sound Air to Knots

Multiply the speed of sound air value by 666.739: 1 Mach 1 = 666.739 kn. Going the other way, 1 kn = 0.00149984 Mach 1, so divide by 666.739 or use the Knots to Speed of Sound Air converter.

About these units

Speed of Sound Air (Mach 1)

The speed of sound in air at 20 °C is about 343 meters per second (1,235 km/h). It falls as the air gets colder, so the exact value depends on conditions.

Knots (kn)

A knot is one nautical mile per hour, exactly 1.852 km/h or about 1.151 mph. Ship and aircraft speeds and wind speeds at sea are given in knots.
