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 4280 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4280 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

4280 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4280 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2535.8306695486 kt

The final result is:

4280 ft/s → 2535.8306695486 kt

We conclude that 4280 feet per second is equivalent to 2535.8306695486 knots:

4280 feet per second = 2535.8306695486 knots

Alternative conversion
