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 2640 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2640 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

2640 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2640 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4455.8180227433 ft/s

The final result is:

2640 kt → 4455.8180227433 ft/s

We conclude that 2640 knots is equivalent to 4455.8180227433 feet per second:

2640 knots = 4455.8180227433 feet per second

Alternative conversion
