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 3960 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3960 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

3960 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 3960 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6683.727034115 ft/s

The final result is:

3960 kt → 6683.727034115 ft/s

We conclude that 3960 knots is equivalent to 6683.727034115 feet per second:

3960 knots = 6683.727034115 feet per second
