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 3966 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3966 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

3966 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3966 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2349.7907559416 kt

The final result is:

3966 ft/s → 2349.7907559416 kt

We conclude that 3966 feet per second is equivalent to 2349.7907559416 knots:

3966 feet per second = 2349.7907559416 knots

Alternative conversion
