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 2970 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 2970 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

2970 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 2970 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5012.7952755862 ft/s

The final result is:

2970 kt → 5012.7952755862 ft/s

We conclude that 2970 knots is equivalent to 5012.7952755862 feet per second:

2970 knots = 5012.7952755862 feet per second
