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 5480 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 5480 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

5480 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 5480 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 9249.1980169066 ft/s

The final result is:

5480 kt → 9249.1980169066 ft/s

We conclude that 5480 knots is equivalent to 9249.1980169066 feet per second:

5480 knots = 9249.1980169066 feet per second
