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 4720 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4720 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

4720 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4720 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7966.4625255108 ft/s

The final result is:

4720 kt → 7966.4625255108 ft/s

We conclude that 4720 knots is equivalent to 7966.4625255108 feet per second:

4720 knots = 7966.4625255108 feet per second

Alternative conversion
