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 2440 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2440 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

2440 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2440 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4118.2560513234 ft/s

The final result is:

2440 kt → 4118.2560513234 ft/s

We conclude that 2440 knots is equivalent to 4118.2560513234 feet per second:

2440 knots = 4118.2560513234 feet per second

Alternative conversion
