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 4270 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4270 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

4270 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4270 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2529.9058315357 kt

The final result is:

4270 ft/s → 2529.9058315357 kt

We conclude that 4270 feet per second is equivalent to 2529.9058315357 knots:

4270 feet per second = 2529.9058315357 knots

Alternative conversion
