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 4279 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4279 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

4279 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4279 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2535.2381857473 kt

The final result is:

4279 ft/s → 2535.2381857473 kt

We conclude that 4279 feet per second is equivalent to 2535.2381857473 knots:

4279 feet per second = 2535.2381857473 knots
