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 5809 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5809 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

5809 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5809 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3441.7384017308 kt

The final result is:

5809 ft/s → 3441.7384017308 kt

We conclude that 5809 feet per second is equivalent to 3441.7384017308 knots:

5809 feet per second = 3441.7384017308 knots

Alternative conversion
