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 4880 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4880 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

4880 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4880 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8236.5121026467 ft/s

The final result is:

4880 kt → 8236.5121026467 ft/s

We conclude that 4880 knots is equivalent to 8236.5121026467 feet per second:

4880 knots = 8236.5121026467 feet per second
