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 2969 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2969 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

2969 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2969 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5011.1074657291 ft/s

The final result is:

2969 kt → 5011.1074657291 ft/s

We conclude that 2969 knots is equivalent to 5011.1074657291 feet per second:

2969 knots = 5011.1074657291 feet per second

Alternative conversion
