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 3151 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3151 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

3151 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3151 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1866.916457885 kt

The final result is:

3151 ft/s → 1866.916457885 kt

We conclude that 3151 feet per second is equivalent to 1866.916457885 knots:

3151 feet per second = 1866.916457885 knots

Alternative conversion
