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 3291 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3291 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

3291 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3291 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1949.8641900665 kt

The final result is:

3291 ft/s → 1949.8641900665 kt

We conclude that 3291 feet per second is equivalent to 1949.8641900665 knots:

3291 feet per second = 1949.8641900665 knots
