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 3426 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3426 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

3426 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3426 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5782.4365704237 ft/s

The final result is:

3426 kt → 5782.4365704237 ft/s

We conclude that 3426 knots is equivalent to 5782.4365704237 feet per second:
