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 4256 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4256 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

4256 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4256 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2521.6110583175 kt

The final result is:

4256 ft/s → 2521.6110583175 kt

We conclude that 4256 feet per second is equivalent to 2521.6110583175 knots:

4256 feet per second = 2521.6110583175 knots

Alternative conversion
