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 6470 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 6470 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

6470 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 6470 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3833.3701943878 kt

The final result is:

6470 ft/s → 3833.3701943878 kt

We conclude that 6470 feet per second is equivalent to 3833.3701943878 knots:

6470 feet per second = 3833.3701943878 knots

Alternative conversion
