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 4721 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4721 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

4721 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4721 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 7968.1503353679 ft/s

The final result is:

4721 kt → 7968.1503353679 ft/s

We conclude that 4721 knots is equivalent to 7968.1503353679 feet per second:
