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 3047 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3047 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

3047 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3047 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5142.7566345829 ft/s

The final result is:

3047 kt → 5142.7566345829 ft/s

We conclude that 3047 knots is equivalent to 5142.7566345829 feet per second:

3047 knots = 5142.7566345829 feet per second

Alternative conversion
