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 4462 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4462 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

4462 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4462 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7531.007582379 ft/s

The final result is:

4462 kt → 7531.007582379 ft/s

We conclude that 4462 knots is equivalent to 7531.007582379 feet per second:

4462 knots = 7531.007582379 feet per second
