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 4280 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4280 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

4280 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4280 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7223.8261883869 ft/s

The final result is:

4280 kt → 7223.8261883869 ft/s

We conclude that 4280 knots is equivalent to 7223.8261883869 feet per second:

4280 knots = 7223.8261883869 feet per second
