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 3259 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3259 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

3259 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3259 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1930.904708425 kt

The final result is:

3259 ft/s → 1930.904708425 kt

We conclude that 3259 feet per second is equivalent to 1930.904708425 knots:

3259 feet per second = 1930.904708425 knots

Alternative conversion
