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 5533 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5533 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

5533 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5533 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3278.212872573 kt

The final result is:

5533 ft/s → 3278.212872573 kt

We conclude that 5533 feet per second is equivalent to 3278.212872573 knots:

5533 feet per second = 3278.212872573 knots
