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 6947 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 6947 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

6947 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 6947 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 11725.215077272 ft/s

The final result is:

6947 kt → 11725.215077272 ft/s

We conclude that 6947 knots is equivalent to 11725.215077272 feet per second:

6947 knots = 11725.215077272 feet per second
