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 5408 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5408 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

5408 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5408 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9127.6757071954 ft/s

The final result is:

5408 kt → 9127.6757071954 ft/s

We conclude that 5408 knots is equivalent to 9127.6757071954 feet per second:

5408 knots = 9127.6757071954 feet per second
