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 4240 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4240 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

4240 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4240 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7156.3137941029 ft/s

The final result is:

4240 kt → 7156.3137941029 ft/s

We conclude that 4240 knots is equivalent to 7156.3137941029 feet per second:

4240 knots = 7156.3137941029 feet per second

Alternative conversion
