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 4770 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4770 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

4770 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4770 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8050.8530183657 ft/s

The final result is:

4770 kt → 8050.8530183657 ft/s

We conclude that 4770 knots is equivalent to 8050.8530183657 feet per second:
