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 3338 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3338 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

3338 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3338 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5633.9093029989 ft/s

The final result is:

3338 kt → 5633.9093029989 ft/s

We conclude that 3338 knots is equivalent to 5633.9093029989 feet per second:

3338 knots = 5633.9093029989 feet per second
