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 3309 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3309 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

3309 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3309 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5584.962817143 ft/s

The final result is:

3309 kt → 5584.962817143 ft/s

We conclude that 3309 knots is equivalent to 5584.962817143 feet per second:

3309 knots = 5584.962817143 feet per second
