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 2966 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2966 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

2966 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2966 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5006.0440361578 ft/s

The final result is:

2966 kt → 5006.0440361578 ft/s

We conclude that 2966 knots is equivalent to 5006.0440361578 feet per second:

2966 knots = 5006.0440361578 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00019975853044383 × 2966 knots.

Another way is saying that 2966 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00019975853044383 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two thousand nine hundred sixty-six knots is approximately five thousand six point zero four four feet per second:

2966 kt ≅ 5006.044 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times two thousand nine hundred sixty-six knots.
