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 5283 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5283 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

5283 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5283 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3130.0919222489 kt

The final result is:

5283 ft/s → 3130.0919222489 kt

We conclude that 5283 feet per second is equivalent to 3130.0919222489 knots:

5283 feet per second = 3130.0919222489 knots

Alternative conversion
