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 3342 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3342 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

3342 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3342 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5640.6605424273 ft/s

The final result is:

3342 kt → 5640.6605424273 ft/s

We conclude that 3342 knots is equivalent to 5640.6605424273 feet per second:

3342 knots = 5640.6605424273 feet per second
