Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 4171 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4171 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

4171 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 4171 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2471.2499352073 kt

The final result is:

4171 ft/s → 2471.2499352073 kt

We conclude that 4171 feet per second is equivalent to 2471.2499352073 knots:

4171 feet per second = 2471.2499352073 knots
