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 3427 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3427 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

3427 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3427 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5784.1243802808 ft/s

The final result is:

3427 kt → 5784.1243802808 ft/s

We conclude that 3427 knots is equivalent to 5784.1243802808 feet per second:
