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 3450 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3450 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

3450 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3450 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5822.9440069941 ft/s

The final result is:

3450 kt → 5822.9440069941 ft/s

We conclude that 3450 knots is equivalent to 5822.9440069941 feet per second:

3450 knots = 5822.9440069941 feet per second

Alternative conversion
