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 3118 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3118 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

3118 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3118 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5262.591134437 ft/s

The final result is:

3118 kt → 5262.591134437 ft/s

We conclude that 3118 knots is equivalent to 5262.591134437 feet per second:

3118 knots = 5262.591134437 feet per second
