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 5442 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5442 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

5442 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5442 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3224.2968466551 kt

The final result is:

5442 ft/s → 3224.2968466551 kt

We conclude that 5442 feet per second is equivalent to 3224.2968466551 knots:

5442 feet per second = 3224.2968466551 knots
