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 4231 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4231 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

4231 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4231 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7141.123505389 ft/s

The final result is:

4231 kt → 7141.123505389 ft/s

We conclude that 4231 knots is equivalent to 7141.123505389 feet per second:

4231 knots = 7141.123505389 feet per second

Alternative conversion
