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 5027 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5027 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

5027 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5027 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 2978.416069117 kt

The final result is:

5027 ft/s → 2978.416069117 kt

We conclude that 5027 feet per second is equivalent to 2978.416069117 knots:

5027 feet per second = 2978.416069117 knots

Alternative conversion
