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 5066 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5066 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

5066 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5066 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3001.5229373676 kt

The final result is:

5066 ft/s → 3001.5229373676 kt

We conclude that 5066 feet per second is equivalent to 3001.5229373676 knots:

5066 feet per second = 3001.5229373676 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0003331642039281 × 5066 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 5066 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0003331642039281 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five thousand sixty-six feet per second is approximately three thousand one point five two three knots:

5066 ft/s ≅ 3001.523 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times five thousand sixty-six feet per second.
