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 3021 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3021 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

3021 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3021 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5098.8735782983 ft/s

The final result is:

3021 kt → 5098.8735782983 ft/s

We conclude that 3021 knots is equivalent to 5098.8735782983 feet per second:

3021 knots = 5098.8735782983 feet per second
