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 3017 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3017 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

3017 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3017 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5092.1223388699 ft/s

The final result is:

3017 kt → 5092.1223388699 ft/s

We conclude that 3017 knots is equivalent to 5092.1223388699 feet per second:

3017 knots = 5092.1223388699 feet per second

Alternative conversion
