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 4046 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4046 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

4046 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4046 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6828.8786818255 ft/s

The final result is:

4046 kt → 6828.8786818255 ft/s

We conclude that 4046 knots is equivalent to 6828.8786818255 feet per second:

4046 knots = 6828.8786818255 feet per second
