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 3480 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3480 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

3480 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3480 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2061.8436285115 kt

The final result is:

3480 ft/s → 2061.8436285115 kt

We conclude that 3480 feet per second is equivalent to 2061.8436285115 knots:

3480 feet per second = 2061.8436285115 knots

Alternative conversion
