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 4478 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4478 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

4478 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4478 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2653.1424622053 kt

The final result is:

4478 ft/s → 2653.1424622053 kt

We conclude that 4478 feet per second is equivalent to 2653.1424622053 knots:

4478 feet per second = 2653.1424622053 knots
