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 5560 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5560 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

5560 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5560 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3294.209935208 kt

The final result is:

5560 ft/s → 3294.209935208 kt

We conclude that 5560 feet per second is equivalent to 3294.209935208 knots:

5560 feet per second = 3294.209935208 knots

Alternative conversion
