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 2271 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2271 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

2271 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2271 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3833.0161854735 ft/s

The final result is:

2271 kt → 3833.0161854735 ft/s

We conclude that 2271 knots is equivalent to 3833.0161854735 feet per second:

2271 knots = 3833.0161854735 feet per second
