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 6471 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 6471 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

6471 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 6471 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3833.9626781891 kt

The final result is:

6471 ft/s → 3833.9626781891 kt

We conclude that 6471 feet per second is equivalent to 3833.9626781891 knots:

6471 feet per second = 3833.9626781891 knots
