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 3265 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3265 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

3265 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3265 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5510.6991834306 ft/s

The final result is:

3265 kt → 5510.6991834306 ft/s

We conclude that 3265 knots is equivalent to 5510.6991834306 feet per second:

3265 knots = 5510.6991834306 feet per second

Alternative conversion
