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 4970 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 4970 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

4970 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 4970 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2944.6444924431 kt

The final result is:

4970 ft/s → 2944.6444924431 kt

We conclude that 4970 feet per second is equivalent to 2944.6444924431 knots:

4970 feet per second = 2944.6444924431 knots

Alternative conversion
