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 4247 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4247 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

4247 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4247 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7168.1284631026 ft/s

The final result is:

4247 kt → 7168.1284631026 ft/s

We conclude that 4247 knots is equivalent to 7168.1284631026 feet per second:

4247 knots = 7168.1284631026 feet per second
