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 3289 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3289 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

3289 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3289 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5551.206620001 ft/s

The final result is:

3289 kt → 5551.206620001 ft/s

We conclude that 3289 knots is equivalent to 5551.206620001 feet per second:
