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 3042 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3042 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

3042 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3042 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5134.3175852974 ft/s

The final result is:

3042 kt → 5134.3175852974 ft/s

We conclude that 3042 knots is equivalent to 5134.3175852974 feet per second:

3042 knots = 5134.3175852974 feet per second

Alternative conversion
