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 5305 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5305 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

5305 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5305 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8953.8312919141 ft/s

The final result is:

5305 kt → 8953.8312919141 ft/s

We conclude that 5305 knots is equivalent to 8953.8312919141 feet per second:

5305 knots = 8953.8312919141 feet per second
