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 5383 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5383 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

5383 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5383 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3189.3403023786 kt

The final result is:

5383 ft/s → 3189.3403023786 kt

We conclude that 5383 feet per second is equivalent to 3189.3403023786 knots:

5383 feet per second = 3189.3403023786 knots
