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 4807 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4807 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

4807 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4807 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2848.0696328318 kt

The final result is:

4807 ft/s → 2848.0696328318 kt

We conclude that 4807 feet per second is equivalent to 2848.0696328318 knots:

4807 feet per second = 2848.0696328318 knots

Alternative conversion
