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 3937 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3937 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

3937 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3937 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6644.9074074017 ft/s

The final result is:

3937 kt → 6644.9074074017 ft/s

We conclude that 3937 knots is equivalent to 6644.9074074017 feet per second:

3937 knots = 6644.9074074017 feet per second
