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 3049 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3049 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

3049 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3049 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5146.1322542971 ft/s

The final result is:

3049 kt → 5146.1322542971 ft/s

We conclude that 3049 knots is equivalent to 5146.1322542971 feet per second:

3049 knots = 5146.1322542971 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 0.00019432069573513 × 3049 knots.

Another way is saying that 3049 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00019432069573513 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-nine knots is approximately five thousand one hundred forty-six point one three two feet per second:

3049 kt ≅ 5146.132 ft/s

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