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 5027 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5027 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

5027 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5027 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8484.6201516404 ft/s

The final result is:

5027 kt → 8484.6201516404 ft/s

We conclude that 5027 knots is equivalent to 8484.6201516404 feet per second:

5027 knots = 8484.6201516404 feet per second

Alternative conversion
