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 3989 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 3989 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

3989 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 3989 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2363.4178833714 kt

The final result is:

3989 ft/s → 2363.4178833714 kt

We conclude that 3989 feet per second is equivalent to 2363.4178833714 knots:

3989 feet per second = 2363.4178833714 knots

Alternative conversion
