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 5430 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5430 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

5430 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5430 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9164.8075240516 ft/s

The final result is:

5430 kt → 9164.8075240516 ft/s

We conclude that 5430 knots is equivalent to 9164.8075240516 feet per second:

5430 knots = 9164.8075240516 feet per second

Alternative conversion
