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 5320 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5320 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

5320 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5320 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 8979.1484397706 ft/s

The final result is:

5320 kt → 8979.1484397706 ft/s

We conclude that 5320 knots is equivalent to 8979.1484397706 feet per second:

5320 knots = 8979.1484397706 feet per second
