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 5099 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5099 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

5099 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5099 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3021.0749028104 kt

The final result is:

5099 ft/s → 3021.0749028104 kt

We conclude that 5099 feet per second is equivalent to 3021.0749028104 knots:

5099 feet per second = 3021.0749028104 knots

Alternative conversion
