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 3280 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3280 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

3280 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3280 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5536.0163312871 ft/s

The final result is:

3280 kt → 5536.0163312871 ft/s

We conclude that 3280 knots is equivalent to 5536.0163312871 feet per second:

3280 knots = 5536.0163312871 feet per second

Alternative conversion
