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 4808 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4808 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

4808 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4808 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8114.9897929355 ft/s

The final result is:

4808 kt → 8114.9897929355 ft/s

We conclude that 4808 knots is equivalent to 8114.9897929355 feet per second:

4808 knots = 8114.9897929355 feet per second
