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 4212 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4212 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

4212 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4212 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2495.5417710605 kt

The final result is:

4212 ft/s → 2495.5417710605 kt

We conclude that 4212 feet per second is equivalent to 2495.5417710605 knots:
