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 3359 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3359 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

3359 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3359 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1990.1530885546 kt

The final result is:

3359 ft/s → 1990.1530885546 kt

We conclude that 3359 feet per second is equivalent to 1990.1530885546 knots:

3359 feet per second = 1990.1530885546 knots
