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 2420 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2420 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

2420 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 2420 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1433.8107991373 kt

The final result is:

2420 ft/s → 1433.8107991373 kt

We conclude that 2420 feet per second is equivalent to 1433.8107991373 knots:

2420 feet per second = 1433.8107991373 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00069744208971064 × 2420 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 2420 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00069744208971064 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two thousand four hundred twenty feet per second is approximately one thousand four hundred thirty-three point eight one one knots:

2420 ft/s ≅ 1433.811 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times two thousand four hundred twenty feet per second.
