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 5440 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5440 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

5440 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5440 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9181.6856226226 ft/s

The final result is:

5440 kt → 9181.6856226226 ft/s

We conclude that 5440 knots is equivalent to 9181.6856226226 feet per second:
