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 3460 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3460 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

3460 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3460 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2049.9939524856 kt

The final result is:

3460 ft/s → 2049.9939524856 kt

We conclude that 3460 feet per second is equivalent to 2049.9939524856 knots:

3460 feet per second = 2049.9939524856 knots

Alternative conversion
