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 2480 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2480 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

2480 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2480 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4185.7684456073 ft/s

The final result is:

2480 kt → 4185.7684456073 ft/s

We conclude that 2480 knots is equivalent to 4185.7684456073 feet per second:

2480 knots = 4185.7684456073 feet per second
