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 5262 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5262 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

5262 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5262 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3117.6497624217 kt

The final result is:

5262 ft/s → 3117.6497624217 kt

We conclude that 5262 feet per second is equivalent to 3117.6497624217 knots:

5262 feet per second = 3117.6497624217 knots
