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 4170 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4170 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

4170 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4170 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7038.1671041059 ft/s

The final result is:

4170 kt → 7038.1671041059 ft/s

We conclude that 4170 knots is equivalent to 7038.1671041059 feet per second:

4170 knots = 7038.1671041059 feet per second
