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 5063 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5063 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

5063 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5063 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8545.381306496 ft/s

The final result is:

5063 kt → 8545.381306496 ft/s

We conclude that 5063 knots is equivalent to 8545.381306496 feet per second:
