Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 4708 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4708 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

4708 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 4708 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7946.2088072256 ft/s

The final result is:

4708 kt → 7946.2088072256 ft/s

We conclude that 4708 knots is equivalent to 7946.2088072256 feet per second:

4708 knots = 7946.2088072256 feet per second

Alternative conversion
