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 6585 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 6585 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

6585 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 6585 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3901.5058315368 kt

The final result is:

6585 ft/s → 3901.5058315368 kt

We conclude that 6585 feet per second is equivalent to 3901.5058315368 knots:

6585 feet per second = 3901.5058315368 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00025631129189062 × 6585 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 6585 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00025631129189062 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six thousand five hundred eighty-five feet per second is approximately three thousand nine hundred one point five zero six knots:

6585 ft/s ≅ 3901.506 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero times six thousand five hundred eighty-five feet per second.
