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 3437 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3437 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

3437 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3437 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5801.0024788518 ft/s

The final result is:

3437 kt → 5801.0024788518 ft/s

We conclude that 3437 knots is equivalent to 5801.0024788518 feet per second:

3437 knots = 5801.0024788518 feet per second
