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 4230 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4230 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

4230 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4230 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7139.4356955319 ft/s

The final result is:

4230 kt → 7139.4356955319 ft/s

We conclude that 4230 knots is equivalent to 7139.4356955319 feet per second:

4230 knots = 7139.4356955319 feet per second
