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 5417 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5417 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

5417 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5417 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3209.4847516226 kt

The final result is:

5417 ft/s → 3209.4847516226 kt

We conclude that 5417 feet per second is equivalent to 3209.4847516226 knots:

5417 feet per second = 3209.4847516226 knots

Alternative conversion
