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 4721 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4721 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

4721 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4721 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2797.1160259203 kt

The final result is:

4721 ft/s → 2797.1160259203 kt

We conclude that 4721 feet per second is equivalent to 2797.1160259203 knots:

4721 feet per second = 2797.1160259203 knots

Alternative conversion
