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 4048 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4048 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

4048 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4048 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 6832.2543015397 ft/s

The final result is:

4048 kt → 6832.2543015397 ft/s

We conclude that 4048 knots is equivalent to 6832.2543015397 feet per second:

4048 knots = 6832.2543015397 feet per second

Alternative conversion
