Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 2987 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 2987 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

2987 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 2987 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1769.7491144724 kt

The final result is:

2987 ft/s → 1769.7491144724 kt

We conclude that 2987 feet per second is equivalent to 1769.7491144724 knots:

2987 feet per second = 1769.7491144724 knots
