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 4260 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4260 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

4260 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4260 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7190.0699912449 ft/s

The final result is:

4260 kt → 7190.0699912449 ft/s

We conclude that 4260 knots is equivalent to 7190.0699912449 feet per second:
