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 5422 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5422 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

5422 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5422 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9151.3050451948 ft/s

The final result is:

5422 kt → 9151.3050451948 ft/s

We conclude that 5422 knots is equivalent to 9151.3050451948 feet per second:

5422 knots = 9151.3050451948 feet per second
