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 3472 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3472 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

3472 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3472 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2057.1037581011 kt

The final result is:

3472 ft/s → 2057.1037581011 kt

We conclude that 3472 feet per second is equivalent to 2057.1037581011 knots:

3472 feet per second = 2057.1037581011 knots

Alternative conversion
