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 3430 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3430 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

3430 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3430 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5789.1878098521 ft/s

The final result is:

3430 kt → 5789.1878098521 ft/s

We conclude that 3430 knots is equivalent to 5789.1878098521 feet per second:
