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 2470 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2470 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

2470 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2470 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4168.8903470364 ft/s

The final result is:

2470 kt → 4168.8903470364 ft/s

We conclude that 2470 knots is equivalent to 4168.8903470364 feet per second:

2470 knots = 4168.8903470364 feet per second
