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 3046 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3046 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

3046 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3046 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5141.0688247258 ft/s

The final result is:

3046 kt → 5141.0688247258 ft/s

We conclude that 3046 knots is equivalent to 5141.0688247258 feet per second:

3046 knots = 5141.0688247258 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00019451208184386 × 3046 knots.

Another way is saying that 3046 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00019451208184386 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three thousand forty-six knots is approximately five thousand one hundred forty-one point zero six nine feet per second:

3046 kt ≅ 5141.069 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times three thousand forty-six knots.
