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 5306 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5306 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

5306 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5306 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3143.7190496787 kt

The final result is:

5306 ft/s → 3143.7190496787 kt

We conclude that 5306 feet per second is equivalent to 3143.7190496787 knots:

5306 feet per second = 3143.7190496787 knots

Alternative conversion
