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 3255 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3255 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

3255 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3255 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1928.5347732198 kt

The final result is:

3255 ft/s → 1928.5347732198 kt

We conclude that 3255 feet per second is equivalent to 1928.5347732198 knots:

3255 feet per second = 1928.5347732198 knots

Alternative conversion
