Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 3149 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3149 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

3149 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 3149 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1865.7314902824 kt

The final result is:

3149 ft/s → 1865.7314902824 kt

We conclude that 3149 feet per second is equivalent to 1865.7314902824 knots:

3149 feet per second = 1865.7314902824 knots

Alternative conversion
