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 3940 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3940 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

3940 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3940 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6649.970836973 ft/s

The final result is:

3940 kt → 6649.970836973 ft/s

We conclude that 3940 knots is equivalent to 6649.970836973 feet per second:

3940 knots = 6649.970836973 feet per second
