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 5066 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5066 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

5066 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5066 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8550.4447360673 ft/s

The final result is:

5066 kt → 8550.4447360673 ft/s

We conclude that 5066 knots is equivalent to 8550.4447360673 feet per second:
