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 5097 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5097 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

5097 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5097 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3019.8899352078 kt

The final result is:

5097 ft/s → 3019.8899352078 kt

We conclude that 5097 feet per second is equivalent to 3019.8899352078 knots:

5097 feet per second = 3019.8899352078 knots

Alternative conversion
