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 5183 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5183 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

5183 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5183 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3070.8435421193 kt

The final result is:

5183 ft/s → 3070.8435421193 kt

We conclude that 5183 feet per second is equivalent to 3070.8435421193 knots:
