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 4202 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4202 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

4202 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4202 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2489.6169330475 kt

The final result is:

4202 ft/s → 2489.6169330475 kt

We conclude that 4202 feet per second is equivalent to 2489.6169330475 knots:

4202 feet per second = 2489.6169330475 knots

Alternative conversion
