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 3987 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3987 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

3987 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3987 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2362.2329157688 kt

The final result is:

3987 ft/s → 2362.2329157688 kt

We conclude that 3987 feet per second is equivalent to 2362.2329157688 knots:

3987 feet per second = 2362.2329157688 knots

Alternative conversion
