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 2470 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2470 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

2470 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2470 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1463.4349892021 kt

The final result is:

2470 ft/s → 1463.4349892021 kt

We conclude that 2470 feet per second is equivalent to 1463.4349892021 knots:

2470 feet per second = 1463.4349892021 knots

Alternative conversion
