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 4817 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4817 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

4817 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4817 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8130.1800816494 ft/s

The final result is:

4817 kt → 8130.1800816494 ft/s

We conclude that 4817 knots is equivalent to 8130.1800816494 feet per second:

4817 knots = 8130.1800816494 feet per second
