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 4257 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4257 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

4257 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4257 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2522.2035421188 kt

The final result is:

4257 ft/s → 2522.2035421188 kt

We conclude that 4257 feet per second is equivalent to 2522.2035421188 knots:

4257 feet per second = 2522.2035421188 knots

Alternative conversion
