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 5426 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5426 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

5426 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5426 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9158.0562846232 ft/s

The final result is:

5426 kt → 9158.0562846232 ft/s

We conclude that 5426 knots is equivalent to 9158.0562846232 feet per second:
