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 3870 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3870 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

3870 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3870 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2292.9123110171 kt

The final result is:

3870 ft/s → 2292.9123110171 kt

We conclude that 3870 feet per second is equivalent to 2292.9123110171 knots:

3870 feet per second = 2292.9123110171 knots
