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 5803 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5803 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

5803 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5803 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3438.1834989231 kt

The final result is:

5803 ft/s → 3438.1834989231 kt

We conclude that 5803 feet per second is equivalent to 3438.1834989231 knots:

5803 feet per second = 3438.1834989231 knots

Alternative conversion
