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 5215 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5215 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

5215 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5215 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3089.8030237608 kt

The final result is:

5215 ft/s → 3089.8030237608 kt

We conclude that 5215 feet per second is equivalent to 3089.8030237608 knots:

5215 feet per second = 3089.8030237608 knots

Alternative conversion
