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 4743 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4743 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

4743 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4743 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8005.2821522241 ft/s

The final result is:

4743 kt → 8005.2821522241 ft/s

We conclude that 4743 knots is equivalent to 8005.2821522241 feet per second:

4743 knots = 8005.2821522241 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00012491752082994 × 4743 knots.

Another way is saying that 4743 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00012491752082994 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four thousand seven hundred forty-three knots is approximately eight thousand five point two eight two feet per second:

4743 kt ≅ 8005.282 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times four thousand seven hundred forty-three knots.
