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 5420 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5420 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

5420 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5420 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3211.2622030265 kt

The final result is:

5420 ft/s → 3211.2622030265 kt

We conclude that 5420 feet per second is equivalent to 3211.2622030265 knots:

5420 feet per second = 3211.2622030265 knots

Alternative conversion
