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 4272 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4272 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

4272 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4272 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7210.3237095301 ft/s

The final result is:

4272 kt → 7210.3237095301 ft/s

We conclude that 4272 knots is equivalent to 7210.3237095301 feet per second:

4272 knots = 7210.3237095301 feet per second
