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 3897 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3897 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

3897 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3897 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2308.9093736521 kt

The final result is:

3897 ft/s → 2308.9093736521 kt

We conclude that 3897 feet per second is equivalent to 2308.9093736521 knots:

3897 feet per second = 2308.9093736521 knots
