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 6960 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 6960 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

6960 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 6960 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 11747.156605414 ft/s

The final result is:

6960 kt → 11747.156605414 ft/s

We conclude that 6960 knots is equivalent to 11747.156605414 feet per second:

6960 knots = 11747.156605414 feet per second

Alternative conversion
