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 4417 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4417 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

4417 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4417 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2617.0009503262 kt

The final result is:

4417 ft/s → 2617.0009503262 kt

We conclude that 4417 feet per second is equivalent to 2617.0009503262 knots:

4417 feet per second = 2617.0009503262 knots

Alternative conversion
