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 4748 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4748 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

4748 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4748 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8013.7212015096 ft/s

The final result is:

4748 kt → 8013.7212015096 ft/s

We conclude that 4748 knots is equivalent to 8013.7212015096 feet per second:

4748 knots = 8013.7212015096 feet per second
