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 4706 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4706 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

4706 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4706 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7942.8331875114 ft/s

The final result is:

4706 kt → 7942.8331875114 ft/s

We conclude that 4706 knots is equivalent to 7942.8331875114 feet per second:

4706 knots = 7942.8331875114 feet per second

Alternative conversion
