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 5261 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5261 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

5261 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5261 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3117.0572786204 kt

The final result is:

5261 ft/s → 3117.0572786204 kt

We conclude that 5261 feet per second is equivalent to 3117.0572786204 knots:

5261 feet per second = 3117.0572786204 knots
