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 3271 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3271 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

3271 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3271 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1938.0145140406 kt

The final result is:

3271 ft/s → 1938.0145140406 kt

We conclude that 3271 feet per second is equivalent to 1938.0145140406 knots:

3271 feet per second = 1938.0145140406 knots

Alternative conversion
