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 5144 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5144 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

5144 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5144 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3047.7366738687 kt

The final result is:

5144 ft/s → 3047.7366738687 kt

We conclude that 5144 feet per second is equivalent to 3047.7366738687 knots:

5144 feet per second = 3047.7366738687 knots

Alternative conversion
