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 2460 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2460 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

2460 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2460 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1457.5101511892 kt

The final result is:

2460 ft/s → 1457.5101511892 kt

We conclude that 2460 feet per second is equivalent to 1457.5101511892 knots:

2460 feet per second = 1457.5101511892 knots

Alternative conversion
