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 3880 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3880 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

3880 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3880 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6548.702245547 ft/s

The final result is:

3880 kt → 6548.702245547 ft/s

We conclude that 3880 knots is equivalent to 6548.702245547 feet per second:

3880 knots = 6548.702245547 feet per second
