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 2790 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2790 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

2790 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2790 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 4708.9895013083 ft/s

The final result is:

2790 kt → 4708.9895013083 ft/s

We conclude that 2790 knots is equivalent to 4708.9895013083 feet per second:

2790 knots = 4708.9895013083 feet per second
