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 6472 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 6472 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

6472 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 6472 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3834.5551619904 kt

The final result is:

6472 ft/s → 3834.5551619904 kt

We conclude that 6472 feet per second is equivalent to 3834.5551619904 knots:

6472 feet per second = 3834.5551619904 knots
