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 4944 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 4944 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

4944 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 4944 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8344.5319335011 ft/s

The final result is:

4944 kt → 8344.5319335011 ft/s

We conclude that 4944 knots is equivalent to 8344.5319335011 feet per second:

4944 knots = 8344.5319335011 feet per second
