Conversion formula

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 5531 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5531 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

5531 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5531 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3277.0279049704 kt

The final result is:

5531 ft/s → 3277.0279049704 kt

We conclude that 5531 feet per second is equivalent to 3277.0279049704 knots:

5531 feet per second = 3277.0279049704 knots

Alternative conversion
