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 4224 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4224 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

4224 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4224 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7129.3088363893 ft/s

The final result is:

4224 kt → 7129.3088363893 ft/s

We conclude that 4224 knots is equivalent to 7129.3088363893 feet per second:

4224 knots = 7129.3088363893 feet per second

Alternative conversion
