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 5338 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5338 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

5338 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5338 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9009.5290171984 ft/s

The final result is:

5338 kt → 9009.5290171984 ft/s

We conclude that 5338 knots is equivalent to 9009.5290171984 feet per second:
