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 3518 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3518 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

3518 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3518 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5937.7150772769 ft/s

The final result is:

3518 kt → 5937.7150772769 ft/s

We conclude that 3518 knots is equivalent to 5937.7150772769 feet per second:
