Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 3458 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3458 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

3458 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 3458 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2048.808984883 kt

The final result is:

3458 ft/s → 2048.808984883 kt

We conclude that 3458 feet per second is equivalent to 2048.808984883 knots:

3458 feet per second = 2048.808984883 knots

Alternative conversion
