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 6946 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 6946 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

6946 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 6946 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 11723.527267415 ft/s

The final result is:

6946 kt → 11723.527267415 ft/s

We conclude that 6946 knots is equivalent to 11723.527267415 feet per second:

6946 knots = 11723.527267415 feet per second

Alternative conversion
