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 4173 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4173 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

4173 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4173 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2472.4349028099 kt

The final result is:

4173 ft/s → 2472.4349028099 kt

We conclude that 4173 feet per second is equivalent to 2472.4349028099 knots:
