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 5911 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 5911 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

5911 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 5911 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3502.1717494631 kt

The final result is:

5911 ft/s → 3502.1717494631 kt

We conclude that 5911 feet per second is equivalent to 3502.1717494631 knots:

5911 feet per second = 3502.1717494631 knots

Alternative conversion
