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 3115 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3115 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

3115 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3115 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5257.5277048657 ft/s

The final result is:

3115 kt → 5257.5277048657 ft/s

We conclude that 3115 knots is equivalent to 5257.5277048657 feet per second:

3115 knots = 5257.5277048657 feet per second
