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 3066 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3066 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

3066 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3066 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5174.8250218678 ft/s

The final result is:

3066 kt → 5174.8250218678 ft/s

We conclude that 3066 knots is equivalent to 5174.8250218678 feet per second:

3066 knots = 5174.8250218678 feet per second
