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 5536 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5536 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

5536 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5536 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3279.9903239769 kt

The final result is:

5536 ft/s → 3279.9903239769 kt

We conclude that 5536 feet per second is equivalent to 3279.9903239769 knots:

5536 feet per second = 3279.9903239769 knots
