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 3409 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3409 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

3409 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3409 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5753.743802853 ft/s

The final result is:

3409 kt → 5753.743802853 ft/s

We conclude that 3409 knots is equivalent to 5753.743802853 feet per second:

3409 knots = 5753.743802853 feet per second
