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 3270 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3270 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

3270 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3270 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5519.1382327161 ft/s

The final result is:

3270 kt → 5519.1382327161 ft/s

We conclude that 3270 knots is equivalent to 5519.1382327161 feet per second:

3270 knots = 5519.1382327161 feet per second
