Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 5274 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5274 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

5274 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 5274 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8901.509186344 ft/s

The final result is:

5274 kt → 8901.509186344 ft/s

We conclude that 5274 knots is equivalent to 8901.509186344 feet per second:
