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 3417 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3417 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

3417 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3417 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2024.5171490298 kt

The final result is:

3417 ft/s → 2024.5171490298 kt

We conclude that 3417 feet per second is equivalent to 2024.5171490298 knots:

3417 feet per second = 2024.5171490298 knots

Alternative conversion
