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 3421 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3421 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

3421 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3421 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5773.9975211382 ft/s

The final result is:

3421 kt → 5773.9975211382 ft/s

We conclude that 3421 knots is equivalent to 5773.9975211382 feet per second:
